Adults brawl at little league game in Columbus

Little league officials in Columbus say a brawl involving adults that was captured on videotape is an embarrassment to the players and the city.

The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports (http://bit.ly/McvsC3) that the fighting broke out Friday evening, minutes after a game between Northe Little League and Harris County. Two adults were arrested and ordered to appear in court on Aug. 16.

Video shows two middle-aged men fighting near an outfield wall. Other fans rush to the scene, with some adults trying to break up the altercation.

Little League District 8 Administrator Beard Ashley, who has been involved with the league for 35 years, says it was "about the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in Little League in all the years I've been doing it."

No serious injuries were reported.
