From the ESPN report:
Fifteen players and both managers were ejected — and a fan was sent to the hospital — following a 10-minute, benches-clearing brawl in a Class-A minor league game between affiliates of the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs on Thursday night.
The ejections were reversed by the league president George Spelius and the game was completed with Dayton winning 6-5.
The fan was taken to the hospital after being hit by a ball thrown by Peoria (Cubs) pitcher Julio Castillo, who was throwing at the Dayton (Reds) dugout but missed during the first-inning melee between Midwest League teams.
Castillo was arrested and faces one count of felonious assault. He is in the Montgomery County Jail and has a court appearance Friday.
See what the WNBA has wrought??????

now would be a good time to get julio castillo. he’s obviously a blue chip prospect, i think i’ll offer up lance berkman, a roof tile from the astrodome and my first born son. the speed in which he feloniously assaulted that fan was impressive.

Old men pushing; young men brawling; innocent people assaulted; cattle raped…. Another typical day in Dayton, Ohio. The same thing actually was going on in Peoria (and Rock Ridge) at the very same time.
