Bad Blood in Birmingham

It's been a wild two nights in Birmingham as the Cloverleafs and Tiger Kings squared off with noticeable coolness towards each other.   That coolness turned to downright hatred which turned into 4 ejections and a 7 week injury

Neither side would comment before or after the game, but one thing is for sure, I would not want to be a batter in tonight's series finale.

Here's what happened, text in red was added by me for clarity.  Keep in mind the two teams are Divisional Rivals and the Tiger Kings are on pace for 112 losses, the Cloverleafs about to win the AL West.
