10 players were ejected from Saturday night’s Triple-A baseball game between the Reno Aces and Albuquerque Isotopes after the teams got in a brawl that took place right in front of onlookers behind home plate.
The fight occurred during the top of the second inning of the game. One of the people ejected was Reno manager Phil Nevin.
