 | Tuesday, July 1st, 1958: Orr and Desrochers Fight, Get Suspended
Tempers were flaring yesterday at Mountaineers Ballpark. Both the Mountaineers and Flames were defending their turf. A few punches were thrown -- fortunately very few landed -- there was more wrestling than fighting. When the umpires sorted everything out, Harrisonburg's Bill Orr and Fairfax's Guillaume Desrochers were ejected from the game.
Today the league office suspended Orr and Desrochers for 5 games each.
Currently Orr has 2 home runs and a .240 batting average.
This year Desrochers has made 21 starts, thrown 156 innings, fanned 106 batters and walked 70. His won-lost record is 11-7 with a 3.63 ERA.
