Sudbury-St. Louis Brawl, Seelye and Ricketts Suspended Wednesday, June 11th , 2053 Yesterday at Team2 Ballpark Joe Seelye and Mike Ricketts 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 Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs and St. Louis Archies. 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 Seelye will have to sit out 2 while Ricketts would be given a 6-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. This season, Seelye has posted a batting average of .302 with 65 hits in 215 at-bats, 1 home run and 15 RBIs. He has also scored 40 runs, walked 31 times and compiled a .400 OBP. This year, Ricketts has a 5-3 mark in 12 starts with a 4.95 ERA. He has given up 79 hits in 72.2 innings, struck out 76 and issued 27 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .279 batting average against him. |
