OKLAHOMA CITY -- A T-ball team is suspended for two games and the parents and coach are crying foul. The River Cats team is made up of 4 to 7-year-olds.
Games are played at Wheeler Park. River Cat's Coach, Justin Barker, tells us a week and a half ago his team was beating the Raptors handily.
The referee called the game because he said the River Cat fans were being too rowdy.
After the game, Barker says a woman from the Raptors came up to a an elderly River Cat fan and threatened her with a bat. Parents from both teams then faced off in a yelling match.
When it was all said and done, the River Cats were suspended for two games. River Cat supporters don't understand why the Raptors were not punished.
Wendel Whisenhunt from Oklahoma City Parks and Recreation Department says he won't comment on specific teams or actions, but did say, "There was a problem with the game in question and staff members observed the problem and measures have been taken."
