 | Avery Spins 1-0 Shutout Against Santa Clara Saturday, December 17th , 1949 The Havana Sharks shut out the Santa Clara Stallions 1-0 today behind the strong pitching of George Avery. Avery surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 1. Following the last out, Avery appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Santa Clara manager Fred Spears, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Avery's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Stallions skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Sharks press conference, Avery confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Avery said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Havana manager Jack Ferguson added. View Boxscore |   |
