Cerpa Suspended by League Thursday, June 6th , 2024 The Aurora Paints were hoping for a more lenient ruling from the league office, but they didn't get it. In yesterday's game at Cavalry Grounds against the Pikeville Cavalry, Paints right fielder Miguel Cerpa was ejected by the home plate umpire after he vociferously questioned a third-strike call. The commissioner's office issued a 4-game suspension, saying the league would not tolerate a player behaving in that manner. The disgruntled Cerpa refused to leave the field and kicked dirt on the umpire's shoes. His manager tried to keep him away from the umpire and physically had to remove him to the dugout with the help of the two other coaches. Reached for comment after getting the suspension notice, Cerpa said he was too disgusted to talk about it. Cerpa's current batting average stands at .336 and he has chalked up 4 home runs and 24 RBIs. |
