 | Saturday, September 6th, 1980: Ruckus Reaps 4-Game Suspensions
You would have thought you were at a hockey game yesterday at Capital City Stadium. A free-for-all broke out when Craig Williams of Columbia and Alfredo Sánchez of Superior rushed one another on the field and had to be restrained by umpires and teammates. Few blows landed, but it was enough for them to be ejected from the game.
Today both teams received notification from the league office that the two players would be suspended for 4 games.
Williams is batting .323 this season in 138 games with 7 home runs, 59 RBIs and 92 runs scored. He has 174 hits in 539 at-bats.
This year Sánchez has worked 72.1 innings with 84 strikeouts en route to a 2-6 record and a 7.96 ERA.
