League KO's Vipers-Steelheads Players with 4-Game Suspensions
Bad blood could be brewing between the Vipers and the Steelheads. In yesterday's contest at The Snake Pit, <Arizona:team#6>'s <Ernesto Álvarez:player#10889> and <Idaho:team#92>'s <Héctor Gonzáles:player#11366> caused the benches to empty when they went toe-to-toe against one another. Only <Álvarez:player#10889> and <Gonzáles:player#11366> were ejected by the umpires.

Upon hearing that the two players had been suspended 4 games each by the league office, harsh comments came from both clubhouses.

League officials have warned both organizations about the consequences of premeditated retaliation.

This year <Álvarez:player#10889> is batting .287 with 145 hits and 1 home run. He has scored 60 times and has batted in 39 runs.

<Gonzáles:player#11366> has taken the hill for 44 relief appearances this season, nailing down 4 saves while notching a 6-3 record with a 4.07 ERA. The <Idaho:team#92> reliever has limited opposing batters to a .241 batting average.
