Houston Struts Stuff in Win Over Havana
Thursday, August 12th , 2066
The Laredo Border Jumpers shut out the Havana Comrades 6-0 today behind the strong pitching of Keith Houston. Houston surrendered only 6 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8.
Following the last out, Houston appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Havana manager Bryce Marquis, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Houston's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Comrades skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Border Jumpers press conference, Houston confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Houston said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Laredo manager Chris McCallion Babbysitting Team added.
This year Houston has fashioned a 11-2 mark, 3.36 ERA and pitched 118 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .252 against him and he has logged 102 strikeouts.
