Only followed college baseball for a few years, but how often do the benches clear in college ball? I've never seen it before and I ask because that behavior is so frowned upon at the high school and college levels when it's obviously common in the pros when this occurs.
Forgot to add, thanks for all the updates Stu!!
It happened during last year's regular season series between Indiana and Maryland. But I don't think it's too common, but I've only seen it happen twice in my three seasons covering the Hoosier baseball program.
