I think it's asinine that this game was allowed to continue. It doesn't matter if this was a playoff game or not, I would have stopped everything and let the state association decide what to do.
I don't agree. The umpires did a good job in an ugly situation, the coaches ended up getting order restored.

Baseball does not have the leaving the bench rule like basketball; however, I would have been writing down number of anyone who made contact with another player.

I would hope though that the state association would review, put both schools on probation and if a playoff situation, make certain that players ejected do not play the next game etc.,

For certain, F2 is ejected and runner is because of MC.

I've had a basketball brawl before and it's very ugly, but the game was able to continue without further incident.

Thanks
