UPDATE
7/24 — 7:30 AM PT — Milford Police confirmed to TMZ Sports that Eliezer Rosario Lebron, 19, was charged with assault and battery. He is a player on the East Springfield team.
A spectator, 17, was also charged with assault, disturbing the peace, and affray.
Two individuals involved in the violent brawl at a Massachusetts youth baseball game are expected to be charged for their actions, police confirmed to TMZ Sports.
The Milford Police Department relayed the update on Wednesday … less than two days after the shocking fight between the crowd and players at the Milford Post 59 and East Springfield game at Fino Field.
The melee was caught on a MyMilfordTV livestream, showing a spectator who was heckling players run onto the field to throw hands with the East Springfield team.
MPD said while the incident is still under investigation, two people are expected to face charges as a result of the chaos.
It’s unclear whether any of those individuals are players.
MPD told us the game will resume Wednesday night at 6 PM with “heavy police presence and restrictions” in place.
That includes a ban on bags, outside food and drinks … and those attending will be required to leave the game immediately after it’s over.
The American Legion told us it was disappointed over the incident, stating those involved “do not reflect the core values expressed in The American Legion Baseball Code of Sportsmanship, which all players and coaches commit to upholding.”
