Ottawa No Match for Ceja Friday, August 29th, 2031 The Bethesda Atoms shut out the Ottawa Nationals 8-0 today behind the strong pitching of Manuel Ceja. Ceja surrendered only 5 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 6. Following the last out, Ceja appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Ottawa manager John Hill, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Ceja's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Nationals skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Atoms press conference, Ceja confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Ceja said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Bethesda manager Raúl Méndez added. So far this year Ceja has made 14 starts, tossed 107.2 innings, struck out 71 batters and walked 48. His record is 4-6 with a 3.93 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .250 batting average.
