Suspensions Handed Out for Bench-Clearing Brawl Wednesday, May 29th, 2024 There were a few hotheads at the Eugene-Winfield game at Prefontaine Park yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Horiuchi Rin of the Emeralds and Banyu Rais of the Warriors 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 5 games for inappropriate on-field behavior. This season Rin is hitting .161 with 28 hits, 3 home runs, 14 RBIs, scored 14 runs and played in 49 games. To this point in the season Rais has 1 save in 11 relief appearances with a 1-2 record and 7.47 ERA. |
