Some minor league baseball players have found themselves in a load of trouble.

Infielder Gift Ngoepe and pitcher Dovydas Neverauskas of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Triple-A Indianapolis team were suspended for the rest of the season after a bar brawl Sunday morning in Toledo, Ohio.

TribLive provided more details of the incident:

According to documents provided by Toledo Municipal Court, Ngoepe, 26, was charged with one count of simple assault and two counts of resisting arrest. Neverauskas, 23, was charged with two counts of resisting arrest and one count of misconduct.

Both were arrested around 2:40 a.m. Sunday and released on bond later that morning. They must appear in court Sept. 13.

According to TribLive, the Pirates GM Neal Huntington said that both players were suspended for seven days. The season ends this upcoming Monday.

Huntington gave a statement to TribLive:

“We are extremely disappointed in the actions of Gift and Dovydas,” Huntington said via an email statement. “We have made the decision to suspend both players for seven days, taking them through the remainder of their seasons.”

The Pirates weren’t the only ones affected. Toledo Mud Hens player Warwick Saupold was also charged with assault in the brawl. Another man, Andrey Goncharuk, was also charged with assault.

TribLive says that the four men were arrested across the street from the Mud Hens’ ballpark, and provided more details on Saupold and Goncharuk’s involvement:

According to the report, Saupold allegedly punched Goncharuk in the face outside the bar. Ngoepe wrapped his arms around a policeman who was attempting to arrest Saupold.

When the officer tried to put handcuffs on Ngoepe, the player twisted free and walked away. Neverauskas interfered with an officer and yelled, “What are you going to do, shoot me?” when ordered to stand on the sidewalk.

A brawl is perhaps not the best way to get out of the minors. But these guys will have bigger things to worry about now.
