Free-for-All Costs Pérez and Campos 6-Game Suspensions Saturday, August 6th, 2033 Sometimes on the baseball diamond disparaging words are uttered in anger and lead to more than what the players bargained for. That's what happened at yesterday's New Orleans Jedi Knights-Okanagan Lake Monsters game at The Republic. What started off as a war of words ended up a tag team match as both clubs rushed on the field to defend their honor. When the umpires sorted it all out, they ejected New Orleans's José Pérez and Okanagan's Rafael Campos from the game for their roles in starting the melee. Today the players were notified by the league office that they had been suspended 6 games for violating league rules. In 54 games this season Pérez has batted at a .444 pace with 8 hits and 1 home run. Campos has started 3 times this year, pitched 23 innings, fanned 17 batters and walked 10. His current record is 1 win and 1 loss with a 1.96 ERA. |
