Thompson Muzzles Philadelphia Bats Saturday, May 26th , 2063 The New Orleans Voodoo shut out the Philadelphia Liberty, 6-0, behind the strong pitching of Alex Thompson. Thompson surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 6. Following the last out, Thompson appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Philadelphia manager Geoff Matt, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Thompson's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Liberty skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Voodoo press conference, Thompson confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Thompson said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," New Orleans manager Chase Sims added. This year, Thompson has worked 39 innings with 37 strikeouts en route to a 4-0 record and a 0.92 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
