The league commissioner's office issued suspensions for an on-the-field conflict that occurred at a recent Providence-Waco game. John Rinehart will miss 2 games, while Chris Childress was suspended for 6 games.

"Sometimes we go too far and have to pay the consequences," John Rinehart commented later. "Hopefully cooler heads will prevail the next time we play."
