(670 The Score) That got out of control in a hurry.
That's one way to put it after a massive, nasty brawl broke out in the eighth inning between the host South Bend Cubs and the Fort Wayne TinCaps in high Class-A action on a rainy Tuesday evening at Four Winds Field. Multiple players threw punches, a baseball was fired into the madness and mini-dogpiles were breaking out all over the place. Four individuals were ejected, according to the South Bend Tribune.
The initial source of the tension appeared to be Cubs infielder Delvin Zinn taking issue with something a TinCaps player said to him, and words continued to be exchanged between the teams in ensuing at-bats. South Bend rallied to win 12-10.
