Junior college pitcher kicked off team for tackling opponent who hit homer



A Texas junior college pitcher who tackled an opposing batter after a home run is no longer with the team, the school announced Thursday.

Weatherford College pitcher Owen Woodward also received a four-game suspension from the North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference, while the batter, North Central Texas College's Josh Phillips, was suspended for two games because he was ejected for taunting.

Several others from both teams also were suspended because of the resulting brawl, the conference said.

Online video of the play showed Phillips rounding third after his sixth-inning home run, only to have Woodward charge off the mound and level him with a violent blow to the midsection. Several players then charged onto the field.
