Suspensions Handed Out for Bench-Clearing Brawl
Yesterday at Steamrollers Stadium <Greg Ellenburg:player#9990> and <Josh Bednarz:player#9622> 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 <Ft. Wayne College Steamrollers:team#121> and <Oklahoma City College Wardogs:team#124>. 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 <Ellenburg:player#9990> will have to sit out 4 while <Bednarz:player#9622> would be given a 9-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. 

Ellenburg is batting .153 this year with 1 home run, 8 RBIs and 8 runs scored. He has 11 hits in 72 at-bats.

Thus far this season <Bednarz:player#9622> has compiled a 3-1 record, made 14 relief appearances with no saves, hurling 24 innings and striking out 25. He has held the opposition to a .271 batting average with a 6.75 ERA.
