8:01 AM PT — The American Legion released a statement to TMZ Sports regarding the incident at the Milford Post 59-East Springfield game, emphasizing the fight does not “reflect the core values” of the organization.
UPDATE
“The American Legion Department of Massachusetts will await the findings of an investigation into the matter and recommend appropriate action. American Legion Baseball, meanwhile, will continue to stand as the premier youth sports program in our nation, advancing the principles of citizenship through sportsmanship, as it has done for some 10 million athletes over the last century.”
A youth baseball playoff game in Massachusetts came to an abrupt halt Monday night when a crazy brawl broke out between players and fans … and police tell TMZ Sports they’re now investigating the melee!
The chaotic scene played out in the fourth inning of the American Legion playoff game between Milford Post 59 and East Springfield at Fino Field in Milford, Mass. … an incident which appeared to kick off after E.S. players and fans along the third base line began jawing back-and-forth.

The Milford Legion Baseball live stream captured the insane incident on video … as words gave way to punches.
#19 was seen throwing (and seemingly landing) at least two big punches … before the umpire pushed the kid out of the way.
Eventually, order was restored … but the rest of the game was suspended.
The Milford Police Department tells us they were called to the baseball field around 9:05 PM, but the fight was broken up by the time they arrived.
While no arrests were made or injuries reported, police say it’s an “ongoing investigation” as they work to “identify everyone involved.”
Cops say they believe the heckling from the crowd ignited the altercation.
It’s unclear if/when the game will be resumed.
