Niagara Falls's Garza Suspended 2 Games
Wednesday, June 4th, 2025
Niagara Falls Expos first baseman Alejandro Garza received a 2-game suspension from the league office after he was ejected from a game with the Delaware 1787 BC recently.
"I knew I probably was going to be suspended," said Garza. "We just didn't know how many games. I ain't really surprised about the suspension. What I did was wrong. You never get into it with an umpire like that. Something bad is going to happen, probably a suspension. I just hate it had to come to that."
Garza was ejected when he complained bitterly about a called third strike. Garza was called out by the home plate umpire. He immediately spun around and stared at the ump and then used both hands to throw his helmet to the ground. At that point, Garza was ejected. By that time his third base coach and manager had gotten between the pair. Then Garza climbed on the back of his coach trying to reach the umpire. After tussling with him, both men got the irate player calmed down and under control and got him to go back to the dugout and to leave the premises.
This season Garza is batting .333 with 30 hits and no home runs. He has scored 4 times and has 12 RBI.
