Suspensions Handed Out for Bench-Clearing Brawl
Yesterday at The Boom Box <José García:player#8497> and <Mike Woodard:player#9293> 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 <Washington Resonance:team#91> and <New Mexico Danger:team#1>. 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 <García:player#8497> will have to sit out 5 while <Woodard:player#9293> would be given a 6-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. 

In his 2054 season totals, <García:player#8497> has 26 home runs, .276 BA, .363 OBP, 71 RBIs and 70 runs scored.

In 28 starts this season <Woodard:player#9293> has notched a 12-6 record and a 3.68 ERA.
