Benches Clear in Oregon

Sometimes S**T happens in your games and you only choice is to gather numbers and penalize accordingly.

I could not tell from the video if the originaal collision contained any malicious contact. Then the "Egghead" came in from third an all hell broke loose.

As per the rules , many players reacted and were ejected accordingly. Good job by the officials and hopefully some learned their lesson, the "Hard Way".

It actually appeared to me that the catcher turned into the runner and tried to take him out with a with a body block, but ended up bearing the brunt end of the collision. That runner slid into home right after the collision. I agree that the real instigator of the melee was the second "Egghead" runner who went after the third baseman. He had no business running when he could see in front of him that the PU had his arms up.
