Northwest Notes June 3, 2011

No penalties for NAIA incident

The NAIA World Series Game Committee completed its review of a dugout-clearing incident Saturday, and failed to hand out penalties to either team.

The stare-down between Lewis-Clark State and Oklahoma City happened in the ninth inning, after the Warriors’ Trent Bridges, formerly of Lake City High, shoved the Stars’ Dearth Parker. Players from both teams charged the field, but it didn’t appear any punches were thrown.

A report on the incident was sent to the NAIA Conduct and Ethics Committee, which will conduct its own review.

Lewis-Clark State went 1-2 in the tournament and was eliminated on Monday.
