Final South Atlantic/SALLY League Baseball Tonight:
Hagerstown Suns 3, Greensboro Grasshoppers 2
WP:Justin Amlung(2-0)/LP:Josh Hodges(2-2)
Hoppers(23-33)/Suns(29-26)
Both dugouts emptied and it was a bench-clearing bottom of the 4th inning when the Greensboro Grasshoppers’ Austen Smith came in hard at home on Hagerstown Suns’ catcher Matt Reistetter and the battle was on and here are the results:
Ejections: Hagerstown Suns catcher Matt Reistetter ejected by HP umpire Jonathan Parra (4th); Greensboro Grasshoppers left fielder K. J. Woods ejected by HP umpire Jonathan Parra (4th); Greensboro Grasshoppers first baseman Austen Smith ejected by HP umpire Jonathan Parra (4th); Greensboro Grasshoppers catcher Felix Castillo ejected by HP umpire Jonathan Parra (4th)
It was a doneybrook going on behind home plate, as both teams went toe-to-toe and nobody was holding anything back, although they were trying to hold a few players back, but not to much avail…It was on and again, you see the results above…
