Minor League Baseball brawl leads to arrest
Posted on July 25th, 2008A minor league baseball game game between the Peoria Chiefs and Dayton Dragons went from ugly to riot in a matter of batters. A brawl broke out in the bottom of the first inning after a series of ugly plays. The top of the first inning saw a Peoria player hit by a pitch which was retaliated for in the bottom of the inning. Peoria pitcher Julio Castillo proceeded to hit a Dayton player in the head, followed that up by hitting another batter, and ugly slide into second by a Dayton player, and another near head shot by Castillo was the final straw. A massive 10 minute brawl broke out which delayed the game for over an hour, resulted in 15 player ejections, 3 coach ejections, a fan going to the hospital, and one arrest. Why an arrest? Well Castillo decided it would be a good idea to fire the ball into the Dayton dugout. Of course his control problem caused him to miss the dugout and the ball flew into the crowd striking a fan. The ejections had to be overturned so the game could be played which Dayton won 6-5. The tag line on the Peoria Chiefs website is “Your Home For Summer Memories” – well people aren’t gonna forget this anytime soon in Peoria. Check out the video here.
