Dumai's Wells 4, John McDonald 2

Pedro was ejected after throwing just 21 pitches, and Joe Gordon of the Oathbinders had to hit the showers too. Dumai's Wells went on to win the game, but it was ever so costly - their best reliever Bruce Sutter was injured for over a month in the brawl. The second batter hit, starting first basemen John Olerud, was injured on the HBP for 14 days. The Oathbinders lead the series 3 games to 1.

No word on whether Lou P, owner of the Oahtbinders, plans to hunt down Jason B, owner of the Fanclub.
