League KO's River Rats-Harriers Players with 6-Game Suspensions Thursday, August 19th, 2021 Sometimes on the baseball diamond disparaging words are uttered in anger and lead to more than what the players bargained for. That's what happened at yesterday's Columbia River Rats-Harrisburg Harriers game at Columbia Stadium. What started off as a war of words ended up a tag team match as both clubs rushed on the field to defend their honor. When the umpires sorted it all out, they ejected Columbia's Armando Alvarado and Harrisburg's Mario Ruíz from the game for their roles in starting the melee. Today the players were notified by the league office that they had been suspended 6 games for violating league rules. To date Alvarado has chalked up a .233 average with 2 home runs, driven in 25 runs and scored 19 times. In 19 starts this season Ruíz has crafted a 5-6 record with a 3.83 ERA. |
