Bad Behavior Costs Carieda and Clark
Baseball confrontations occasionally get intense and sometimes that tension becomes too much and boils over into more than just words. This time it happened to <Delray Beach:team#66>'s <José Carieda:player#5296> and <Punta Gorda:team#70>'s <Steve Clark:player#5720>. The two were the main participants in a fight that cleared the benches. Today both were suspended by the league for 5 games for their aggressive actions.

"I hope things settle down now," the manager of the Bulldogs said later. "There's no reason for us to be locked in a cycle of revenge. We all need to focus on baseball instead."

In 108 games this season <Carieda:player#5296> has batted at a .320 pace with 129 hits and 8 home runs.

In 27 starts this year <Clark:player#5720> has posted 10 wins while suffering 8 losses. He has pitched 137 innings, allowed 125 hits, struck out 172 and has a 4.34 ERA.
