Mattapoisett police responded to 911 calls following a fight between Bishop Stang and Old Rochester Regional lacrosse players Saturday that resulted in a spectator being ejected from the game.

Four police cruisers arrived in the ORR parking with sirens on during halftime. The altercation occurred just before the end of the half when an ORR player and a Bishop Stang player exchanged blows. ORR led Bishop Stang 12-0 at the time. It’s unclear what prompted the fight.

Coaches and ORR athletic department staff ran over from the bench to separate the players, as did ORR player Ryan Manning who received a three game suspension for his action.

As referees and coaches discussed the incident a man in the crowd started shouting. He was told to leave the field, which he did, but continued to protest in the parking lot. Several other spectators followed him into the parking lot and a loud argument ensued.

Police arrived and spoke to coaches and others. No one was arrested. Two officers remained on the scene for the remainder of the game, which unfolded without further incident.

ORR defeated Bishop Stang 18-2.

Old Coach Blair Bailey said lacrosse is a physical game and emotions sometimes run high.

“It’s a contact sport and the kids get worked up. The players need to work that out on the field,” he said. “I’m proud of the way the kids handled themselves in the second half. Both teams just played the game.”
