South Mississippi's Ellison Suspended Tuesday, May 11th, 2027 The South Mississippi Golden Eagles were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Houston at Suns Ballpark. One in particular -- Dillon Ellison. Upon being called out on strikes, the Golden Eagles third baseman gave the ump quite an earful. For that, the man in blue gave him the thumb and sent him to an early shower. But the disgruntled Ellison lingered on the field for another five minutes, berating the umpire. Finally his manager got him off the field and into the clubhouse. But it got worse after the game, when Ellison told reporters, "He was blind today. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him. If he doesn't know the words to the song, I'm sure we can get it in Braille, so he can follow along." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Ellison for 4 games. Ellison is currently batting .261 with 4 home runs, 20 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 36 hits in 138 at-bats. |
