Another day, another tremendous low-level baseball brawl.

Last week we saw a guy run behind the plate during live play to throw down. Over the weekend, the Frisco RoughRiders and Corpus Christi Hooks had one of the better basebrawls you’ll see.

It started when Frisco pitcher Yohander Mendez plunked Hooks DH Danry Vasquez. It took about a half second for Vasquez to decide to charge the mound.

Of course, hot-headed Frisco manager Joe Mikulik was right there in the thick of it, but it looked like he was playing peacemaker.

Vasquez and Mendez got ejected, as well as Hooks outfielder Roman Laureano.
