Both Cherryville and Ga are disqualifed from the tournament as the result of the fight that broke out in the bottom of the 3rd inning with Cherryville leading 4-0.
The fight started after 2 runs come across the plate for Cherryville on a base hit by Craft. The Ga catcher threw the ball at the 2nd Cherryville runner that scored with the ball glancing off him and going into the Cherryville dugout. A fight then broke out with that runnner and the Ga catcher. Players came out of both dugouts and joined in. It didn't last long, it was broken up pretty quickly, but the damage had been done.
It was determined that there were 3 players from Cherryville who stayed in the dugout during the fight and no players for Ga who stayed in the dugout. By rule all players who leave the dugout when an altercation erupts have to be ejected. So, neither team had enough players to continue playing. As a Post 100 fan I hate it...but the tournament and legion officials had no choice.
