Deguchi Hurls Shutout Saturday, August 7th , 2083 The Shreveport Blackbirds shut out the Mastic Beach Polecats, 8-0, behind the strong pitching of Takehide Deguchi. Deguchi surrendered only 6 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 4. Following the last out, Deguchi appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Mastic Beach manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Deguchi's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Polecats skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Blackbirds press conference, Deguchi confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Deguchi said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Shreveport manager added. This season, Deguchi has worked 99 innings with 73 strikeouts en route to a 1-8 record and a 2.91 ERA. View Boxscore |
