Hearing on Salinas baseball player

The sports future of a Salinas High baseball player, who shoved an umpire on April 10, will be decided next week at a league hearing.
The player in question has been suspended from all sports, pending a hearing. Just a junior, the CIF penalty for touching an official is a lifetime ban from high school sports.
 The head of officials, the principal at Salinas High and league commissioner Tim McCarthy all deemed the incident an assault.
 As a result, a hearing has been requested by the players family and will be heard by three appointed league administrators. In the nine years that McCarthy has been the commissioner, he's never had an incident like this creep up.
 Once it's been determined a physical assault, there is no wiggle room on the penalty, according to CCS commissioner Nancy Lazenby-Blaser.
 Lazenby-Balser said none of the incidents in the past have been overturned since she's been the CCS commissioner. But not all of them have been appealed.
