SWAC suspends 9 baseball players, fines Jackson St. and Prairie View A&M $25,000 for postgame melee
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The Southwestern Athletic Conference on Wednesday suspended six baseball players from Jackson State and three from Prairie View A&M for engaging in an altercation after a weekend game.
The SWAC announced Wednesday that both schools violated the league’s code of ethics/conduct by committing acts of unsportsmanlike conduct. The players were suspended four games and the schools were fined $25,000 each.
Prairie View won Saturday's game 7-6 in 11 innings on Trenton Bush's walk-off double. Jackson State players confronted the Panthers on the infield as they were celebrating. A video of the melee showed a Jackson State player heaving a bat into the stands.
The disciplined players were not identified.
