Huge Minor League Brawl - Watch more free videos
Julio Castillo, a pitcher for the Peoria Chiefs of the Class A Midwest League, will be arraigned in court Friday morning on a felony assault charge after throwing a baseball into the stands and hitting a fan during a wild brawl Thursday night.
According to the Dayton Daily News, Castillo appeared to be trying to hit a Dayton player in the dugout. However, he missed and instead struck a fan, who had to be hospitalized. Castillo was kept overnight at Montgomery County Jail.
Fifteen players and both managers were ejected following a 10-minute, benches-clearing brawl in the bottom of the first inning of Thursday’s Midwest League contest between affiliates of the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds. Peoria is managed by former Cubs great Ryne Sandberg, who was not present at the game.
