LUBBOCK – A bench-clearing brawl in a junior college tournament Tuesday night ended with umpires ejecting every player and declaring a double forfeit that ended the season for both schools.
Weatherford College and New Mexico Junior College emptied its benches in the sixth when a skirmish at second base set off a mele with thrown punches and tangled players. The fray lasted a few minutes before the teams were pulled apart.
The schools were playing an elimination game in the National Junior College Athletic Association Region V Tournament. About a half-hour after the brawl ended, tournament officials told both teams they were disqualified.
“The fight came at a huge expense,” New Mexico JC coach Cory Hall told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
Weatherford led 3-2 when the fight started. The tension appeared to start in the top of the sixth, when a grounder to first ended with Weatherford batter Brett Kazmierski colliding with first baseman Trevor Harden and knocking him down.
Players continued exchanging heated words into the bottom of the inning, leading to the brawl. No one appeared seriously hurt.
Texas sweeps DH
AUSTIN – David Hernandez had two homers and drove in seven runs as Texas defeated Alabama A&M 18-0 and 14-3 in a doubleheader.
Hernandez homered in each game, going 3-for-4 in the first with four RBIs and 2-for-3 in the second with three RBIs. Preston Clark homered twice in the second game for Texas (31-19), going 4-for-4 with three RBIs and scoring three runs.
SWAC suspends play
BATON ROUGE, La. – Play was suspended on Day 1 of the 2008 Southwestern Athletic Conference baseball tournament Wednesday after a line of thunderstorms threatened the area, officials said.
Game 2 featuring Alcorn State and Prairie View A&M was under way when play was suspended at Lee-Hines Field on the campus of Southern University. The Braves were up 2-1 over the Panthers in the top of the third inning.
That game will pick up at 9 a.m. today, weather permitting, with the rest of Wednesday’s scheduled games – Jackson State vs. Texas Southern and Southern vs. Alabama State – to follow.
