RME JICO Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two Washington Nationals minor leaguers were hospitalized with injuries from a benches-clearing brawl during a game between the Potomac Nationals and the Winston-Salem Warthogs. Catcher Brian Peacock went on the disabled list Saturday with hairline fractures to vertebrates in his lower back. Right-handed pitcher Clint Everts, the fifth overall pick in the 2002 amateur draft, got a concussion during the fight, which happened Thursday night. Peacock is expected to be out at least a month. Everts missed his scheduled start for Potomac on Friday, but the team said he's expected to pitch Wednesday. According to a statement issued by Potomac, the brawl broke out in the Class-A Carolina League game when Winston-Salem second baseman Victor Mercedes threw a punch at Potomac's Matt Rogelstad after Rogelstad slid hard into second trying to break up a double play. Rogelstad was ruled out on runner's interference. The Warthogs are a Chicago White Sox affiliate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
