Suspensions Handed Out for Bench-Clearing Brawl Tuesday, September 21st, 2027 There were a few hotheads at the So Cal-Montreal game at House of the Republic yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Luis Hernández of the Republic and Sotatsu Hayagawa of the Bandits 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 6 games for inappropriate on-field behavior. Hernández on the season is hitting .323 with 1 home run. His stats include 25 RBIs and 49 runs scored. This season Hayagawa has compiled a 19-4 record with a 3.29 ERA in 32 starts. |
