Heroes' McCormick Suspended 10 Games

NEW YORK -- In what could be devastating blow to the New York Heroes' chase of the Louisville Racers for the Northern League East division crown, 19-game winner Jim McCormick has been suspended 10 games after hitting John Anderson of the Philadelphia Ringers following a homer by Victor Martinez to ignite a brawl.

"Absolutely F*&@ ridiculous," New York manager Pat Moran said of the news. "He came inside, and now they are going to decide a pennant race by taking away my ace! It's not right, dammit!"

While Frank Killen has won 21 games, McCormick (19-7, 3.75) is still considered the anchor of the Heroes' staff as the PBL's all-time wins leader with 58.

McCormick didn't speak to reporters.

The decision comes with the Heroes 1 1/2 games back, and with a four-game set at home against Louisville to wrap up the season. McCormick's suspension will conclude in time for him to start the final game of the season, which could be - obviously - tremendously important.
