Navarro Guns Down Spirits Monday, July 17th , 2062 The Columbus Patriot Pandas shut out the Peoria Spirits, 1-0, behind the strong pitching of Víctor Navarro. Navarro surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 7. Following the last out, Navarro appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Peoria manager Jorge Feliciano, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Navarro's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Spirits skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Patriot Pandas press conference, Navarro confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Navarro said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Columbus manager Cédrick Morency added. Navarro has gone 8-5 this season with an ERA of 2.74 and 106 strikeouts in 121.2 innings pitched. Other clubs are hitting .223 against him. View Boxscore View Game Log |
