Baseball: Trouble for Burbank baseball program

The Southern Section office is expected to review several incidents that occurred Saturday night during Crescenta Valley’s 7-5 Pacific League victory over Burbank in which two Burbank coaches and a player were ejected.

Burbank Coach Bob Hart and an assistant coach were ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct and Brandon Dawson, a Burbank player, was ejected for throwing a ball at a player. Base umpire Bryan Rodgers is also alleging he was bumped by Hart.

Hart denies bumping Rodgers but he said, ‘I deserved to be kicked out, but I feel there was an uneven playing field with all the nit-picking going on.’

All three ejections mean the individuals will be suspended from participating in Tuesday’s game against Pasadena Muir.
