Boston Red Sox farmhand Josh Winckowski, playing for Scottsdale, hit Canaan Smith-Njigba of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a pitch and the batter charged the mound.
Punches were thrown, both players were ejected and Smith-Njigba left being held back while still screaming at Winckowski for throwing at his head.
