The West Michigan Whitecaps and Dayton Dragons, battling for first in the Midwest League Eastern Division, cleared their benches following a steal in the sixth inning of Sunday's game.

The teams pushed and yelled for the most part, based on a video, with Whitecaps shortstop Danny Pereria and the Dragons' Jose Siri ejected. Video from WDTN in Dayton also shows Whitecaps relief pitcher Eduardo Jimenez apparently throwing a ball at Dayton reliever Jesse Stallings' legs.

Jimenez was not ejected.

The bench clearing came after Siri slid into second with a steal and felt Pereria stepped on his left ankle after the call. After complaining to the umpire, Siri charged Pereria.

The Whitecaps won 2-1 in 10 innings to improve to a league-best 34-15, two games ahead of the Dragons.

The teams conclude a four-game series with an afternoon game Monday.

Here's the audio of the call from Whitecaps announcer Dan Hasty:
