Ugly Incident Ends in 2-Game Suspension
<Modesto HS Navigators:team#136> left fielder <Gerald Merz:player#8958> was suspended 2 games by the league commissioner today, a day after arguing his ejection during a game against the <Manhattan HS Monarchs:team#158>.

"I think the 2 games are a little harsh," Merz said.

He was ejected by plate umpire for arguing balls and strikes.

After his ejection, Merz went into the dugout, then came back on the field, argued with the umpire and had to be restrained by coaches and teammates. The suspension was issued for "unbecoming conduct and returning to the field of play after being dismissed."

On the year <Merz:player#8958> has hit .400 with 1 home run, 4 RBIs and scored 6 runs.
