Izumi Beguiles Kobe | The Osaka Sailors shut out the Kobe Bulls, 6-0, behind the strong pitching of Kakuya Izumi. Izumi surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 2.
Following the last out, Izumi appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Kobe manager Joe Davis, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Izumi's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Bulls skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Sailors press conference, Izumi confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Izumi said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Osaka manager Heikichi Kawasaki added.
Currently Izumi has a 5-1 won-lost record in 6 starts with a 1.17 ERA. He also has 16 strikeouts in 46.1 innings. | |
