The Charlotte stadium is equipped with the ABS system. During this series the “Challenge” is in play meaning that the umpire calls balls and strikes but each team gets three challenges to the calls during the game - if you challenge and win you keep your challenge - if you challenge and lose you lose it - e.g. three challenged losses eliminate any more challenges. It’s assumed that the ABS call is accurate and is the determining rule in each challenge.
