Billings Bats Silenced by Ward Sunday, June 19th , 2061 The Gulf Coast Turbeaus shut out the Billings Polar Bears, 9-0, behind the strong pitching of Terry Ward. Ward surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 3. Following the last out, Ward appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Billings manager Justin Broadfoot, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Ward's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Polar Bears skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Turbeaus press conference, Ward confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Ward said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Gulf Coast manager Melvin McCullough added. To date this season, Ward sports a 4-2 mark with a 2.64 ERA in 9 starting assignments. He has held the opposition to a .216 batting average and has 48 strikeouts in 64.2 innings.
