Talons Blanked by Malabanan, 6-0 Thursday, August 8th , 2058 The Rockford Bulldogs shut out the Surprise Talons 6-0 today behind the strong pitching of Murugayan Malabanan. Malabanan surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 9. Following the last out, Malabanan appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Surprise manager Vic Carter, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Malabanan's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Talons skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Bulldogs press conference, Malabanan confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Malabanan said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Rockford manager Chris Stone added. On his stats sheet for the year Malabanan shows a 8-5 record, 12 starts, 111 innings, 92 strikeouts and a 2.76 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
