Orta Befuddles Quebec in 1-0 Lake Erie Win Wednesday, June 26th , 2080 The Lake Erie Crushers shut out the Quebec Capitales 1-0 today behind the strong pitching of Pablo Orta. Orta surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8. Following the last out, Orta appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Quebec manager Quintin Berry, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Orta's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Capitales skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Crushers press conference, Orta confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Orta said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Lake Erie manager Keith Cantwell added. Thus far this season, Orta has tossed 53 innings in 8 starts, fanned 57 batters, walked 9 and put up a 4.58 ERA with 5 wins and 2 losses. |
