The Associated Press reports Atlanta Braves OF Esix Snead was suspended indefinitely by the International League for charging the mound and sparking a bench-clearing brawl Monday, June 13. Snead charged the mound in the second inning after Syracuse SkyChiefs pitcher David Bush threw a pitch that went between Snead's legs. Snead started walking toward Bush and both dugouts emptied, but the incident was limited to heated jawing from both sides. Moments later, after Snead walked, he started up the line toward first, then suddenly sprinted toward the mound with his helmet in one hand, tackling Bush, who had his back to Snead and was bent over. Both dugouts quickly emptied again. Bush wound up leaving the game with a head wound that required five stitches.
