League Suspends Soto and Long for Brawl
Yesterday at Crawfords Field <Clarence Soto:player#1046> and <Ron Long:player#6827> 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 <Pittsburgh Crawfords:team#23> and <Olympia Battle Cats:team#95>. 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 <Soto:player#1046> will have to sit out 4 while <Long:player#6827> would be given a 6-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. 

This year <Soto:player#1046> is batting .172 with 5 home runs.

Here are his stats for this season: <Long:player#6827> has chalked up no saves and fashioned a record of 1 wins and 3 losses with a 5.75 ERA. He has made 3 relief appearances, thrown 40.2 innings and struck out 21.
