Suspensions Follow Brawl at Game’s End : Junior college baseball: Glendale, Santa Monica player to miss one contest. WSC could recommend further sanctions.

Two players involved in a brawl after a baseball game this week between Glendale and Santa Monica colleges have been suspended by their schools for one game.

The fight broke out at the conclusion of Santa Monica’s 11-10 victory Tuesday. Santa Monica police were summoned, but no arrests were made.

Mark Vail, Glendale’s second baseman, and Martin Schmidt, Santa Monica’s designated hitter, were named as instigators in a report filed with the Western State Conference by the umpires who worked the game, officials from both schools said Thursday.

The suspensions are mandatory for players involved in a fight, according to WSC rules. The conference also could recommend other sanctions, but Jim Sartoris, Glendale athletic director, said a final decision is not expected for a few days.

Vail, a sophomore from Village Christian High, will miss Glendale’s home game Saturday against Oxnard and Schmidt will sit out his team’s home game against Moorpark the same day. Glendale had a bye Thursday and Santa Monica’s game against Oxnard was rained out.

“We may take additional action,” Sartoris said. “We are still considering that.”

Said Glendale Coach Steve Coots: “It was a very ugly incident. I cannot tell you how it happened. I have no idea. Regardless of what happened, I’m not happy.”

Marty Berson, Santa Monica’s coach, maintained Thursday that Glendale was the aggressor.

“I think we didn’t fight,” Berson said. “We defended (ourselves). . . . In my estimation, Glendale started the fight. (Schmidt) was accused of being a little flagrant, and I’m not making any excuses for him. He just lost it. But Vail was the initiator of the whole thing. Vail took some serious punches at some people.”

Vail was unavailable for comment.

Sartoris said Glendale outfielder Joby Lewis was kicked in the head during the fight and was taken to a hospital. He was released shortly thereafter. Sartoris said he is worried about verbal salvos at many conference ballgames that might lead to similar incidents.
