Brawl video: Travis Demeritte, the High Desert second baseman who is currently leading the California League in home runs, with 19, went deep for the High Desert Mavericks in the fifth inning of their game last night. I'm not sure what happened -- if Rancho Cucamonga, who was playing at home, thought Demeritte disrespected them in their house, if they thought he was too comfortable at the plate, or if it was just a ball that got away...but in any case, Demeritte was plunked the next time he came up, leading off the sixth.
Demeritte took exception, started walking to the mound, and, well.
