League Punishes Pair for Fighting
Yesterday at St. Petersburg Park <David Lautenbach:player#6707> and <Greg Medici:player#12380> 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 <St. Petersburg Crocodiles:team#61> and <St. Cloud Silver Hawks:team#60>. 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 <Lautenbach:player#6707> will have to sit out 3 while <Medici:player#12380> would be given a 6-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. 

Thus far this season in 5 games Lautenbach is batting .250 with 1 home run, 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. He has 4 hits in 16 at-bats.
