The Chinese Pro Baseball League in Taiwan continues to play games despite the coronavirus pandemic, but two teams got up close and personal during a bench-clearing brawl Sunday.

The incident began when Fubon Guardians pitcher Henry Sosa threw several inside pitches at Kuo Yen-Wen of the Rakuten Monkeys. The hitter charged the mound after a pitch finally hit him, and the rest of his team followed:

Sosa made 10 starts for the Houston Astros in 2011 but began playing in Asia after returning to the minor leagues. He's in his second season with Fubon following eight years in the Korean Baseball Organization.
