A judge this morning ordered a Greensburg father and daughter to stand trial today for their roles in a fight in which a security supervisor at PNC Park almost lost his finger.

Rachel George, 21, and her father, Christopher George, 50, were arrested in May after police said they attacked a Pittsburgh police officer and the guard, who was trying to escort Ms. George out of the park during a game in which the Pirates played the Houston Astros. Both faced charges including aggravated assault, harassment, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.

The attorney representing the pair, Phillip DiLucente, argued in court that another man was responsible for the brawl.
