On Tuesday, Minor League Baseball teams the South Bend Cubs and Fort Wayne TinCaps faced off in the first game in a series of six at Four Winds Field in Indiana.

Things went completely off the rails with the two sides getting into a massive brawl, which can be seen via video that was shared to social media. It all started after TinCaps pitcher Sam Williams made comments at Delvin Zinn of the Cubs, WNDU reported.

According to NBC Sports, the fighting broke out in the eighth inning. Cubs manager Michael Ryan, pitcher Brandon Hughes, and catcher Jake Washer were all ejected. 

You can check out video of the brawl below.

Holy crap! These two teams still have to play five more games against each other this week. And I only put up about half of the fight pic.twitter.com/eIpdFW5Ek8

The league office is going to have to figure out: what was said to Delvin, what was said between Washer and Melean, who threw the gd baseball (and this should be the longest suspension) and who most actively threw punches. https://t.co/KUzCSLFc6t

Although it’s unclear if any other reprimands have been issued as of yet, video of the incident will likely be reviewed and suspensions handed out.

The Cubs ended up winning the game 12-10 and will be facing the TinCaps again tomorrow.
