Montreal-Kelowna Brawl, Durand and Hou Suspended Sunday, March 19th, 2023 There were a few hotheads at the Montreal-Kelowna game at Eliminators Ballpark yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Victor Durand of the Royales and Zhi-jan Hou of the Heat 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 15 games for inappropriate on-field behavior. This season Durand is swinging the bat at a .381 rate with 16 hits in 42 at-bats. To date he has hit 2 home runs, scored 11 runs and driven in 7. |
