Sean Newcomb Reportedly Responsible for Destroying Fire Extinguisher After Latest Braves Loss
By Jerry Trotta

To say that Saturday was one to forget for the Atlanta Braves wouldn't even begin to describe the club's misfortunes.
The NL East leaders scored three times in the top of the ninth to sport a 6-2 lead, only to concede four runs to the Marlins in the bottom half of the frame to send the game into extras. In the following inning, Martin Prado hit a walk-off sac fly to give Miami the dub.
Somehow, however, the night's woes weren't even close to being over for Atlanta. A player, later identified as left-hander Sean Newcomb, knocked over a clubhouse fire extinguisher with his bat following the crushing defeat, causing an immense mess.
For the record, I went to person with direct knowledge of this incident today. Here it is: Newk did it, but not with a bat. He kicked trash can. It knocked extinguisher off the wall, puncturing it and sending contents everywhere. He felt terrible, offered to pay for all damages. https://t.co/3r1L2Umrha

Per Atlanta news station 680 The Fan, the ruckus resulted in piles of dust flying into the Braves clubhouse and basement level at Marlins Park.

We know what you're thinking: why on earth would dust be correlated to a fire extinguisher being trampled? Check out this portable fan that looks as though it hasn't been "dusted" since the Mesozoic Era. Couple that with the lingering debris (does every item in the Marlins basement look like this?) and there you have it, folks -- one big clutter of dust.
I’ve seen a lot in my time covering sports. The fire extinguisher incident will be told for a while. Wondering if a portable fan like this helped spread the dust. pic.twitter.com/mqpDS0qoHg

While Newcomb's passion following what was probably the worst loss of his club's season is significantly admirable (and understandable), we advise the 26-year-old hurler to be more aware of his surroundings in the future.
