Cuban Baseball Brawl

Villa Clara took on Matanzas in a National Series game that took a really ugly turn in the 7th inning. Matanzas is the team that is at bat.

Interesting storyline from Baseball America's Ben Badler, who has the play-by-play of the fight.

After Eriel Sanchez led off the seventh inning with a home run to give Matanzas a 3-0 lead, Villa Clara righthander Freddy Alvarez hit the next batter, Yasiel Santoya, in the head with a fastball. Two batters later, 17-year-old Victor Mesa Jr., the son of Matanzas manager Victor Mesa, got hit by a 2-0 fastball.

While the brawl was crazy enough on its own, the characters involved make it even more intriguing. The batter, Victor Mesa Jr., is an athletic center fielder and one of the top young players on the rise in Cuba. Alvarez, 24, pitches for the Cuban national team and played in the World Baseball Classic last year. Who manages the Cuban national team? Matanzas manager Victor Mesa.
