On Friday night, Sept. 14th in a  38+ division Playoff game between the  Titan Dukes and Cardinals, #3 Roy Shoffner of the Titan Dukes was ejected by field umpire Mike McManus for intentionly taking out the second baseman while going into second base. The forceout had already occured so there was no intent to break up the play. According to the report this was done in retaliation for an accidental earlier play.  The league cannot condone or tolerate play with intent to cause injury.  Therefore, Steve Elfrink, President of the 38+ division, suspended Roy Shoffner from playing in the first 2 games of the '08 season.  This suspension applies to any age division in which Roy is playing.
