| Bulls Hurler Rivard Tosses Masterpiece | The Houston Bulls shut out the Los Angeles Knights 3-0 today behind the strong pitching of Dan Rivard. Rivard surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 7.
Following the last out, Rivard appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Los Angeles manager Ed Ziehl, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Rivard's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Knights skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Bulls press conference, Rivard confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Rivard said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Houston manager Jerry Wilcher added.
Rivard has made 13 starts so far this year and put up a 6-3 won-lost record with a 3.13 ERA. In 100.2 innings he has allowed 96 hits, walked 37 and struck out 50. | |
