Trial set for father, daughter in baseball scuffle

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A judge says a father and daughter will stand trial for a baseball park scuffle in which a security officer almost lost his finger.

Police say 21-year-old Rachel George and her father, 50-year-old Christopher George, were arrested in May after they attacked the guard at PNC Park as Rachel George was being removed from the stadium. They face assault and other charges.

The guard’s finger was nearly ripped off when it got caught in a fence and the pair allegedly yanked him away. The finger was reattached at a hospital.

Rachel George also allegedly kicked a Pittsburgh police officer.

A message left for Phillip DiLucente, the George’s lawyer, was not immediately returned. He has argued that another fan started the fight.
