Rowdy Players Suspended by League
Yesterday at Grasshoppers Ballpark <Norio Hashimoto:player#11331> and <Jose Loya:player#10876> 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 <Delray Beach Grasshoppers:team#66> and <Punta Gorda Bulldogs:team#70>. 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 <Hashimoto:player#11331> will have to sit out 4 while <Loya:player#10876> would be given a 6-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. 

To date, <Hashimoto:player#11331> has collected 9 hits for a .231 average. He has posted no home runs, scored 7 runs and driven in 3 runs.
