Scott and Mendoza Suspended 7 Games Monday, June 2nd, 2014 There were a few hotheads at the Sandy Springs-New York game at The Coliseum yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Michael Scott of the Spartans and Jorge Mendoza of the Ninjas 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 7 games for inappropriate on-field behavior. This season Scott is swinging the bat at a .269 pace. He has hit 2 home runs and scored 25 times, while driving in 27. His on-base percentage is .340 and he has played in 48 games. Currently Mendoza has a 6-2 won-lost record in 11 starts with a 3.70 ERA. He also has 50 strikeouts in 65.2 innings. |
