FORT LEE, N.J. -- A New Jersey judge agreed Thursday to drop the simple-assault charge against New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia, ending the legal proceeding stemming from a domestic-violence allegation.Municipal court judge John DeSheplo accepted Fort Lee prosecutor Arthur Balsamos recommendation that the misdemeanor charge be dismissed. The judge also ordered the record of the case to be expunged.Im happy the case is resolved, said Familias defense attorney, Paul Brickfield.Balsamo had met with Familias wife, Bianca Rivas, before the hearing Thursday in Fort Lee Municipal Court. Rivas, represented by her own attorney, did not wish for the domestic-violence case to be pursued.The couple arrived at court together, and Rivas met with the prosecutor for five minutes before the court session began.Shes been steadfast that the matter be dismissed, Balsamo told the judge.Familia had been arrested Oct. 31 after allegedly causing a scratch to the chest and a bruise to the right cheek of his wife. The complaint filed at the time stated that Fort Lee officer Tony Pickens found probable cause to believe that domestic violence had occurred.However, Rivas subsequently told authorities that the scratch was caused by their 1-year-old son, and the facial mark was caused by pressing on her own head. Two knives the police found on the floor were not intimidating to her, Rivas added. Rivas told authorities her husband wedged them in a door while barricading himself in a bathroom following an argument.Shes clear that was used by Mr. Mojica to wedge the door closed, Balsamo told the judge, using Familias maternal surname.The end of the legal case against Familia does not preclude Major League Baseball from suspending the closer, and the Mets issued a statement Thursday saying theyll await the outcome of MLBs investigation. Baseball officials had been waiting for a disposition of the criminal case before considering in earnest whether a suspension is warranted.The fact that the case has been expunged from the record figures to help Familias side.Thatll weigh with the MLB lawyers, said attorney Jay Reisinger, who represents Familia against MLB.MLB recently has imposed serious penalties for domestic-violence incidents, even absent criminal convictions.Jose Reyes received a 52-game suspension to begin 2016 after an incident last offseason in Hawaii involving his wife. The charges against Reyes were dropped after his wife declined to cooperate with prosecutors. As Reyes neared his eligibility to return, the Rockies released him, and he subsequently signed with the Mets.Aroldis Chapman, who re-signed with the Yankees this winter after winning a championship with the Cubs, received a 30-game suspension in March despite never facing criminal charges.A first-time All-Star in 2016, Familia led the majors with 51 saves. That set a franchise record and became the single-season record for a Dominican-born reliever. Familia recorded 52 straight regular-season saves from Aug. 1, 2015, through July 26.

Arizona was better than us for the majority of the game.But Rawle Alkins hit two free throws with 15 seconds left to put the Wildcats up by four.After the first one, I felt comfortable, Alkins said. Coach trusted me and Lauri to make the play happen.Tonny Trocha-Morelos missed a 3-pointer, and Davis missed the ensuing putback, allowing Simmons to grab the rebound and dribble out the clock.Arizona ended the first half with a 9-0 run led by Alkins five points to take a 41-28 lead annd carried that momentum into the second half, pushing the lead to as many as 22 points with a 17-8 spurt over the first 10 minutes of the second half.ddddddddddddTexas A&M didnt hit a field goal over the last 5:17 of the first half and shot 3 of 10 with eight turnovers to start the second half.For a large portion of the game, that was our best effort because we were playing against a really good team as well, Miller said.BIG PICTUREArizona: The Wildcats have continued to play well since losing to No. 8 Gonzaga on Dec. 3.
