Linger Tosses Shutout Against Mancelona
Wednesday, July 25th, 2040
The Delaware 1787 BC shut out the Mancelona Torch 7-0 today behind the strong pitching of Emilio Linger. Linger surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 3.
Following the last out, Linger appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Mancelona manager Charles Schmidt, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Linger's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Torch skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the 1787 BC press conference, Linger confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Linger said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Delaware manager Gary Thomas added.
