The Spring Hill College and University of Mobile baseball teams engaged in a giant WWE Royal Rumble-style brawl on Tuesday evening.
Spring Hill College hosted the University of Mobile Rams on Tuesday night, the only meeting between the two clubs this season. The thrilling contest was tied 5-5 in the bottom half of the 11th inning, with the Badgers looking for a walk-off victory.
The Rams’ pitcher, however, was able to force a 12th inning when the Spring Hill batter popped out in foul territory to the catcher. The pumped-up pitcher started taunting the batter and had a fiery exchange, leading to the bench-clearing brawl between the two clubs.
Thankfully, things cooled down quickly, with umpires, players and coaches on both sides breaking up the brouhaha.
Per Summer Poole of WKRG, Spring Hill College officials revealed in a statement that the game was suspended because of the brawl. A make-up date for the game has not been announced yet:
“During Tuesday’s baseball game between Spring Hill and Mobile, play was suspended after the 11th inning following an on-field altercation involving members of both teams. SHC holds all of our student-athletes and coaches to the highest standards of conduct and sportsmanship. What occurred does not reflect the values of our program or institution.”
