League Punishes Pair for Fighting
Yesterday at The Swamp <Yonetoshi Machida:player#11390> and <Ed King:player#3282> 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 <Sanford Swamp Things:team#58> and <Ocala Pippins:team#98>. 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 <Machida:player#11390> will have to sit out 5 while <King:player#3282> would be given a 3-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. 

<Machida:player#11390> is presently hitting at a .363 pace with 9 home runs, 67 RBIs and has scored 110 times.

For the year <King:player#3282> has a 3-2 record with a 3.71 ERA in 5 starts.
