A Good, Post-Season Base Brawl

((HT: WCIV-TV Charleston))

Jeff Melillo of the Charleston Post and Courier got a good seat for this one- a Southern Conference battle between Elon and The Citadel...

Elon's Head Coach, Mike Kennedy, summed it up this way:
"It's a black eye for our university and probably for our league," he said. "It's two great teams playing extremely hard with a lot on the line, both playing for postseason play. It's unfortunate that it took place.

"I was very angry at (Elon players). We preach to them discipline and keeping your composure, and we didn't. Neither club did.

"It was hard. Your assistants are trying to pull people off, and every time you get somebody off, something else happens. It doesn't matter how important the game is, you've got to keep your composure."


The short version: Ninth inning, 3-2 lead for Elon... hard slide at the plate...
People discuss... punches thrown... Citadel Head Coach hurt a little bit..
Citadel wins in extras 6-3...

Here's a good 40 seconds of fun...
