Orimoloye and Okert Suspended 4 Games Thursday, July 17th, 2025 Bad blood could be brewing between the Donkey Riders and the Alleghenys. In yesterday's contest at Rogers Centre, Canadien's Demi Orimoloye and Pittsburgh's Steven Okert caused the benches to empty when they went toe-to-toe against one another. Only Orimoloye and Okert were ejected by the umpires. Upon hearing that the two players had been suspended 4 games each by the league office, harsh comments came from both clubhouses. League officials have warned both organizations about the consequences of premeditated retaliation. This year Orimoloye is batting .247 with 12 home runs and 32 RBIs. In 61 games he has scored 32 times. So far this year Okert has made 33 relief appearances with no saves, thrown 43 innings and struck out 50 with a 5-1 record. |
