League KO's Porters-Archies Players with 9-Game Suspensions Sunday, June 22nd , 2053 At a recent Porters-Archies contest at Team2 Ballpark, William Melnick of Dublin took exception to what Mike Ricketts of St. Louis said to him and tackled him. This led to an old-fashioned bench-clearing free-for-all between the two clubs. After the umpires restored order, they ejected both players. Today the league commissioner's office took action and suspended each player for 9 games, citing them for "inappropriate and aggressive conduct." This season, Melnick is hitting .280 with 53 hits, 7 home runs, 36 RBIs, scored 25 runs and played in 54 games. This year, Ricketts has worked 73.1 innings with 76 strikeouts en route to a 5-4 record and a 5.15 ERA. |
