ACC Commissioner John D. Swofford announced Tuesday that six baseball players from Georgia Tech and Maryland will serve suspensions for actions during the game between the two teams in College Park, Md., Sunday.
The game, the last in a three-game series, was halted by the umpires in the bottom of the seventh inning after a bench-clearing altercation at home plate. The game ended in a 12-1 Georgia Tech victory because of NCAA rules.
Three players have been automatically issued suspensions based on the umpires' report submitted to the NCAA following the game. Georgia Tech's Matt Murton will serve a three-game suspension, while Tyler Parker of Georgia Tech and Ray Gemmill of Maryland will serve one-game suspensions.
Swofford issued three additional suspensions after consulting with conference officials who watched the incident on video. Georgia Tech's Mike Andraes and Matthew Boggs and Maryland's Kyle George will serve one-game suspensions. All six players will begin serving the suspensions immediately.
