Rowdy Players Suspended by League
Yesterday at Battle Cats Park <Pat James:player#5003> and <Cristóbal Cruz:player#5401> got into each other's space and then into each other's face. They began to grapple and fell to the ground. That's when it boiled over into a full-fledged bench-clearing tussle between the <Olympia Battle Cats:team#95> and <St. Louis Sportsman:team#10>. Reason finally prevailed as the umpires restored order. After much discussion, only the two major combatants were ejected from the game.

Today the league office notified the ballclubs that <James:player#5003> will have to sit out 4 while <Cruz:player#5401> would be given a 6-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. 

This season <James:player#5003> is batting .348 with 71 RBIs, 77 runs scored and 20 home runs.

On the year <Cruz:player#5401> has worked 122.2 innings with 90 strikeouts en route to a 8-6 record and 7.19 ERA.
