Scottsdale CC baseball player receives cheap shot from Yavapai thug

A video has been posted to YouTube of a fight that occurred during a baseball game between Scottsdale Community College and Yavapai Community College. With the Fighting Artichokes of Scottsdale batting, the drama kicks off as a batter pushes a bunt up the first-base line. Although first base is not included in the camera's view, the players from both teams soon converge near that part of the diamond. Once the situation seems in hand, however, the Yavapai left fielder delivers what is being widely dubbed as the "worst cheap shot ever" in a baseball game

With everyone's attention focused on whatever happened near first base, the left fielder charges in unnoticed and clobbers a Scottsdale player from behind near second base. (The outfielder comes in the picture at the 18-second mark). Like everyone else, the player at second base was looking in the direction of first and had no idea someone was coming up behind him.Larry Brown Sports spoke to Yavapai College’s athletic director, Scott Farnsworth: “Yavapai college and our Athletic dept. support and encourage good sportsmanship and fair play, we do not condone the actions of our LF displayed in the video. Austin O’Such was immediately suspended and continues to be as we work through this most uncharacteristic incident.”
