Bad Apples Carter Suspended 3 Games
"Deplorable conduct will not be tolerated in this league, especially if it is directed toward our umpires." That was the gist of the league commissioner's notification letter to the <Carlsbad Bad Apples:team#42> organization advising them that first baseman <Chris Carter:player#11746> had been suspended for 3 games for his heated confrontation with the home plate umpire in yesterday's game with <St. Cloud:team#48>. He became furious over a called third strike. 

This season <Carter:player#11746> has banged out 72 hits in 296 at-bats for a .243 average with 8 home runs. He is getting on base at a .337 pace and his totals also include 46 RBIs and 36 runs scored.
