Peroia Chiefs vs. Dayton Dragons
July 25, 2008

Fighting is a part of baseball. Pitchers will pitch inside to batters to show them that they own that shit. And every know and then if a batter showboats he will find a fastball right in the middle of his back.
Well the Peroia Chiefs and the Dayton Dragons got it on yesterday. Here is how it all went down.
Dayton pitcher Kyle Lotzkar hit Peoria’s Nate Samson with a pitch in the top of the first. In the inning’s bottom half, Castillo hit Dayton’s Zack Cozart in the head with a pitch. Cozart fell to the ground, was helped to the dugout and didn’t return.
Several batters later, Castillo hit Angel Cabrera, who angrily threw his bat and batting gloves toward his dugout before taking first. Dayton’s next batter hit an infield grounder, and Cabrera made an aggressive slide into second to break up the double play.
Castillo followed that with a high-and-tight pitch to the next batter, Brandon Menchaca, prompting Dayton manager Donnie Scott to complain to the home plate umpire. Interim Peoria manager Carmelo Martinez came on the field to join the discussion.
That led to an argument between the two managers, and when Martinez pushed Scott, the benches emptied. Several fights between players broke out behind home plate. Castillo’s ball went into the stands, and Menchaca jumped on Castillo’s back.
Peoria Chiefs pitcher Julio Castillo took the ultimate cheap shot as he crow-hopped a baseball into the direction of the Dayton Dragons dugout. The ball then skimmed off the dragons dugout and drilled a fan in the middle of the forehead. The fan was taken away in a stretcher to the hospital. Julio was then was arrested for assault by the Dayton Police.
15 Players were ejected
02 Head Coaches were ejected
17 total people were ejected, but were then UN-ejected because they did not have enough position players to continue to play the game.
Dragons then won the game 6-5 after a 1 hour and 9 minute delay.
