Video of Hill-Exposito Fight: HP Umpire Kelvin Bultron ejected Koyie Hill & Luis Exposito for fighting Friday night during a AAA International League contest between Hill's Syracuse Chiefs and Exposito's Norfolk Tides.
Skipping ahead to the real action in the bottom of the sixth inning, during a series in which Hill and Tides pitcher Brian Matusz alternated stepping out of the batter's box and off of the pitcher's plate, respectively, Exposito and Hill made comments to one another as umpire Bultron stepped in between the two to gauge the situation. After Exposito arose from his crouch and removed his mask to confront Hill, Bultron quickly sidestepped the pending skirmish, finding himself out of harm's way just as Hill made a lunge at Exposito, sending the duo tumbling to the ground to the right of home plate.
Though benches cleared, only Hill & Exposito actually parcipated in the fracas, resulting in both players being ejected on a night marketed by Syracuse as Breast Cancer Awareness Night (note the pink jersey numbers).
Said Chiefs starting pitcher Zach Duke, "Koyie’s got a lot of fire in him. He was a wrestler growing up, he's got a little mean streak in him. It's good to see a little fire."
While working MLB Spring Training 2012, Bultron was listed as "Kevin Bultron."
