League Gives Jeffers and Johnson 2-Game Suspensions Sunday, June 30th , 2047 The action was hot and heavy at a recent Portland-Prudenville game at Walker Stadium in more ways than one. When tempers flared, both benches emptied and a mild melee ensued. The only thing hurt was a few players' pride. Two of the main figures in the brawl were suspended today by league officials. The Pickles Aaron Jeffers and Prudenville's Aaron Johnson will each miss 2 games for their roles in the fight. "We do not condone this kind of behavior on the field," the league announcement read. "As such, we believe that this punishment fits the actions taken by these two players. We hope that there will not be a repeat of the incident or else the consequences will be even more severe." This year, Jeffers has 10 home runs and a .278 batting average. To date this year, Johnson has saved 11 games while tossing 34.1 innings. He has a 4.19 ERA, fanned 23 batters and made 29 relief appearances. |
