The minor league pitcher involved in the fight for which Jose Offerman is facing two counts of second-degree assault after charging the mound with a bat, has been suspended for his role in the incident. The Atlantic League also fined Matt Beech of the Bridgeport Bluefish an undisclosed amount. Beech planned to appeal, said his attorney, John Robert Gulash. Long Island catcher Jared Price also was fined and suspended two games. Beech hit Offerman with a pitch Aug. 14 and the former major league infielder, who had homered in his first at-bat, charged the mound. During the ensuing melee, the middle finger on Beech's non-throwing hand was broken and Bridgeport catcher John Nathans suffered a concussion. Offerman, playing for Long Island, was charged with two counts of second-degree assault. He was suspended by the league pending the resolution of his legal case.
