Kansas transfer and Tennessee baseball commit Maui Ahuna was in the middle of a bench-clearing brawl Thursday at the Honkbalweek Haarlem international baseball tournament in Netherlands.

Ahuna, wearing jersey No. 10, was reportedly relaying pitch locations to the Team USA batter, per 11point7. A clearer view of the leadup to the altercation can be seen below:

And it seems Ahuna, who is a major part of Team USA’s success to this point in the tournament, will fit right in with the Tennessee faithful. The Vols developed a reputation of being the ‘villains’ of college baseball this past season, and Ahuna is showing he won’t be shying away from any altercations early.

Team USA held a 2-1 lead at this point against Curaçao in Thursday’s semifinals, but gave up a run the following frame. The two went to 10 innings, where Curaçao knocked through a run to take the win, 3-2.

Team USA will face off against one of Japan and Team Kingdon for the Bronze medal Friday, per USA Baseball’s official site.
