Cincinnati Reds fans wondering why their team doesn’t show more fight at times could find some encouragement in high Single-A.

Or they could be horrified at the example they set for a thousand or so kids in attendance at the game in South Florida.

The Daytona Tortugas, a Reds affiliate, were part of a big brawl that also included the Jupiter Hammerheads (Miami Marlins) last week, and it was not pretty.

According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, it all started last Wednesday when Daytona's Gavin LaValley (a 2014 fourth-round pick of the Reds who began this season in Dayton with the Dragons) was hit by a pitch.

ExploreThat led to an altercation that lasted roughly three minutes and included punches thrown by the managers.
