Six Secrets Suspended For Final Game

In the wake of last night's brawl at the end of the game between the Racine Secrets and the Miami Vices, six of Racine's players have been suspended by commish Nigel Benvuneto for the final game.

Benvuneto announced before his offices in Hartford, CT the suspensions of C Katamor Mito, DH/1B Scotty Harper, 2B Jaime Gutierrez, SS Josue Grandison, MR Steve Sax, and MR Patrick Weller.

The Octopus League head remarked, "While we're pleased with the publicity from these two squads mixing it up, this can't become a commonplace occurrence and since the Secrets started it, they're the ones getting punished."

The fight broke out at the end of the Vices-Secrets game, which Miami won 10-5, when Grandison led a charge out onto the field and swung first at Vices 2B William Canterbury. From there, chaos ensued, including the highlights of Grandison and Gutierrez teaming together to gang beat Canterbury, Gutierrez overheard screaming, "I'm the king of basestealing, (expletive)!" and Harper's punching Miami SP Cristian Chapa with the remark of, "You're a disrespectful traitor, Chapa and now you're going down like the two-bit punk you are."

Neither GM/manager would comment on the situation, though one has to wonder what Secrets leader Tim Moungey is going to do with nearly half of his starting lineup suspended, along with two members of his bullpen.
