 | Bautista Hurls Blue Rocks to Shutout Victory Monday, August 8th, 1977 The Wilmington Blue Rocks shut out the Auburn Doubledays 5-0 today behind the strong pitching of Denny Bautista. Bautista surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 9. Following the last out, Bautista appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Auburn manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Bautista's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Doubledays skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Blue Rocks press conference, Bautista confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Bautista said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Wilmington manager Joe Boever added. In 11 starts this season Bautista has crafted a 7-3 record with a 2.13 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |   |
