League Suspends Richardson and Basurto for Fisticuffs Saturday, September 18th, 2032 There were a few hotheads at the Chippewa-Nichols game at The Reservation yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Terry Richardson of the River Chiefs and Dave Basurto of the Gnats 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. Richardson has collected 52 hits for the River Chiefs this year, 8 of them home runs. He has also netted 39 RBIs and scored 30 runs while batting .271. In 6 starts this season Basurto has fashioned a 4-8 record and a 4.85 ERA. |
