Ruckus Reaps 4-Game Suspensions Saturday, May 11th , 2052 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 Asheville Tourists-Hickory Crawdads game at McCormick Field. 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 Asheville's Heath Digby and Hickory's Spencer Gallagher from the game for their roles in starting the melee. Today the players were notified by the league office that they had been suspended 4 games for violating league rules. So far this season Digby has hit .246 with 1 home run, 6 RBIs and scored 7 times. On his stats sheet this season Gallagher shows a 1-0 record, 0 starts, 18 innings, 17 strikeouts and a 5.00 ERA. |
