Despite claims from Peoria Chiefs pitcher Julio Castillo that he threw a ball towards the Dayton Dragons dugout to keep them from charging the field, Judge Connie Price found Julio Castillo (pictured right) guilty of felonious assault causing serious physical injury. You'll recall that Castillo fired a pitch into the crowd during a Chiefs/Dragons game last year which hospitalized a fan and caused a bench-clearing brawl. [AP]
