Howell and Cruces Brawl, League Suspends Them: If there wasn't a history between River Howell of Welch and Slim Cruces of River City, then there is one now. The incident between the two sparked a bench-clearing scrum with those two being the center of attention. Now they will miss 2 and 6 games respectively as a result of their actions. The league office announced their suspensions today.
"We're both really competitive," Howell said later, "and sometimes things go a little too far because of it."
