League Suspends Blake and Lay for Brawl
Yesterday at Springfield Stadium <Butch Blake:player#5670> and <Freddie Lay:player#12124> 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 <Springfield Lincolns:team#32> and <Salem Cherries:team#28>. 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 <Blake:player#5670> will have to sit out 4 while <Lay:player#12124> would be given a 2-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. 



This season <Lay:player#12124> has made 32 relief appearances and saved 1 games. His record is 1-0 with 49 strikeouts in 67.1 innings with a 5.61 ERA.
