League Suspends Eagles Zapata 3 Games Saturday, June 25th, 2061 Juan Zapata didn't like the strike call, turned around and had some angry words with the home plate umpire. Apparently he went too far. The result is a 3-game suspension by the league office. The league cited his failure to leave the dugout after the ejection was the reason for the suspension. The East St. Louis left fielder was ejected in a game at Ballpark of Stockton against the Brainerd Seagulls following a controversial third-strike call. In his stats this season, Zapata has posted a batting average of .379 with 22 hits in 58 at-bats, 2 home runs and 12 RBIs. He has also scored 13 runs, walked 12 times and compiled a .486 OBP. |
