| Gooners No Match for Pappas, Spartans in 17-0 Thumping Sunday, May 19th , 2041 The Sacramento Spartans shut out the Guadalajara Gooners, 17-0, behind the strong pitching of Jared Pappas. Pappas surrendered only 6 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 7.
Following the last out, Pappas appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Guadalajara manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Pappas's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Gooners skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Spartans press conference, Pappas confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Pappas said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Sacramento manager added.
This year, Pappas has compiled a 5-3 record with a 2.19 ERA in 9 starts. | | |
