The town last month suspended a player in the Recreation Department-run adult softball league after he misbehaved following a game, officials said. The July 2 incident unfolded after a row involving members of rival teams The Firm and Kaster Moving escalated, according to town officials. The teams weren’t playing each other that day, but played games on adjacent fields at Waveny, and complaints came into the town to have the man removed from the league, according to a representative from the first selectman’s office. Ultimately, after officials consulted the town attorney, he was suspended one game. UPDATE (Nov. 7): The row started when a Kaster player struck a golf ball that landed near people gathered in a parking area.
