 | Nichols-Chippewa Free-for-All Gets 4-Game Suspensions Tuesday, May 21st, 2013: There were a few hotheads at the Nichols-Chippewa game at The Pond yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Goffredo Bracciolini of the Gnats and Chih Pang of the River Chiefs apparently exchanged some verbal unpleasantries and rushed at one another and began wrestling on the ground. Both benches emptied, but didn't get involved other than a little shoving. Order was quickly restored, the two instigators were ejected by the umpires and the game continued. The league office took quick action and today announced that both players would be suspended 4 games for inappropriate on-field behavior. For the season Pang has made 14 relief appearances, recorded no saves and compiled a 2-1 won-lost mark and a 2.79 ERA. In pitching 19.1 innings, he has totaled 16 strikeouts and 8 walks. |   |
