Tempers flare in a game in the independent North American League. The trouble starts in the top of the 3rd inning when the Chico Outlaws’ bench yells at the Yuma Scorpions’ batter, 52-year-old former major leaguer Tony Phillips, for calling time-out as a pitch is being thrown, resulting in a tense stand-off in front of the Chico dugout. Taking his defensive position at third base in the bottom of the inning, Phillips has words with Chico manager Mike Marshall, who is coaching third base. A fight breaks out, and another former big leaguer, Yuma manager Jose Canseco rushes out to the scene, followed by the rest of his team, resulting in a free-for-all brawl. When peace is restored, Yuma decides to forfeit the game, because manager Canseco says he “feared more trouble” if the game continued. Both Phillips and Marshall will receive three-game suspensions for their role in starting the fracas.

With the tying runs at the corners and two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Curtis Granderson is picked off at first, ending the game as Mark Teixeira, the Yankees’ leading home run hitter, stands at the plate. The last out of New York’s 6-4 loss to the Angels is the result of the seldom effective fake to third, throw to first move perpetrated by closer Jordan Walden, which easily catches the Bronx Bomber outfielder off the base when he attempts to steal second base on a 1-6-3 play.

The Cards score all their runs off rookie Mike Leake in the 4th, highlighted by Skip Schumaker’s first major league grand slam, to pull within one game of division-leading Cincinnati.
