In the bottom of the second Alberto Espinosa of the Sox was hit by a pitch thrown by Todd Privett the benches cleared. Privett continued to argue after everyone else settled down and he was ejected. Manager Pete Incaviglia was quietly ejected during the bench clearing brawl as no one in the press box new Incaviglia got tossed until after the game.
After order was restored the Sox chipped away at the Lemurs adding five more runs throughout the game.
