Herrera Twirls Intrepid to Shutout Victory Thursday, July 21st, 1977 The Shawinigan Intrepid shut out the Longueuil Colossals 4-0 today behind the strong pitching of Martín Herrera. Herrera surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 3. Following the last out, Herrera appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Longueuil manager Pat Le Gall, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Herrera's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Colossals skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Intrepid press conference, Herrera confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Herrera said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Shawinigan manager Tony Gutiérrez added. This season-to-date Herrera has 8 wins and 5 losses and a 4.14 ERA. |
