Why is this Cuban baseball player chasing another with his bat?

Brushed back by one ninth-inning pitch and then hit by a second, [Correa] took matters into his own hands by charging the mound and attempting to club [Sosa] with his wooden bat. There have been a number of conflicting accounts detailing what actually transpired during the bench-clearing brawl that followed and eventually required police intervention. Later reports out of Havana suggested that local law officers overreacted and unfairly roughed up several Industriales ballplayers.
