Chaisson, Harper Suspended for Fracas Saturday, August 21st , 2060 Yesterday at McCormick Field Jared Chaisson and Russ Harper got into each other's space and then into each other's face. They began to grapple and fell to the ground. That's when it boiled over into a full-fledged bench-clearing tussle between the Greensboro Grasshoppers and Asheville Tourists. Reason finally prevailed as the umpires restored order. After much discussion, only the two major combatants were ejected from the game. Today the league office notified the ballclubs that Chaisson will have to sit out 4 while Harper would be given a 8-game suspension for their roles in the brawl. So far this season, Chaisson has hit .305 with 12 home runs, 33 RBIs and scored 32 times. This season, he has made 36 relief appearances with 1 save. In 71.1 innings Harper has chalked up 76 strikeouts while posting a 5-1 record and a 6.69 ERA |
