| Nichols Bats Silenced by Valenzuela | The Williamsport Crosscutters shut out the Nichols Gnats 7-0 today behind the strong pitching of Francisco Valenzuela. Valenzuela surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 12.
Following the last out, Valenzuela appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Nichols manager Norm Cobb, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Valenzuela's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Gnats skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Crosscutters press conference, Valenzuela confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Valenzuela said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Williamsport manager Michael Ashe added.
