Ruíz and Lowery Suspended, Out 2 Games Friday, September 6th, 2041 There were a few hotheads at the Long Island-Memphis game at Ducks Park yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Al Ruíz of the Ducks and Curt Lowery of the Music apparently exchanged some verbal unpleasantries and rushed at one another and began wrestling on the ground. Both benches emptied, but didn't get involved other than a little shoving. Order was quickly restored, the two instigators were ejected by the umpires and the game continued. The league office took quick action and today announced that both players would be suspended 2 games for inappropriate on-field behavior. In the current season, Ruíz has put up a .233 batting average with 74 hits, 1 home run, 30 runs batted in and scored 29 runs. This season Lowery has worked 48.2 innings with 42 strikeouts en route to a 3-3 record and a 4.99 ERA. |
