Hickory LF Lodge Suspended Friday, August 8th , 2070 The agitation was hot and heavy at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium yesterday. After a called third strike Crawdads left fielder Jack Lodge protested the call in no uncertain terms. While he and the home plate umpire were jawing face-to-face, a few bumps took place and Lodge was ejected from the game. "It was verbal, nothing more," according to Lodge. However, the league frowned on what transpired and suspended him for 4 games. "The league will never tolerate a player touching an umpire in anger," the commissioner said in the suspension notification. This year Lodge is batting .307 with 7 home runs. |
