Kirkland Fashions Shutout Against Santa Barbara Thursday, August 1st , 2052 The Syracuse Squirrel Monkeys shut out the Santa Barbara Golden Cranes 4-0 today behind the strong pitching of Hunter Kirkland. Kirkland surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 10. Following the last out, Kirkland appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Santa Barbara manager Doug Green, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Kirkland's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Golden Cranes skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Squirrel Monkeys press conference, Kirkland confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Kirkland said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Syracuse manager Scott Garrison added. On the season Kirkland has a 8-3 record with a 3.56 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
