Lahti Shuts Out Mississippi, 1-0 Thursday, July 25th , 2052 The Boston Patriots shut out the Mississippi Mockingbirds 1-0 today behind the strong pitching of Iiri Lahti. Lahti surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 5. Following the last out, Lahti appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Mississippi manager Beau Carsten, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Lahti's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Mockingbirds skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Patriots press conference, Lahti confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Lahti said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Boston manager Tyler Carter added. In 12 starts this season, Lahti has picked up 6 wins while suffering 6 losses. He has pitched 93.1 innings, allowed 63 hits, struck out 117 and posted a 2.70 ERA.
