Ballard Cruises to Shutout
Wednesday, July 17th, 2080
The Maryland Admirals shut out the North Carolina Clippers 3-0 today behind the strong pitching of Mike Ballard. Ballard surrendered only 5 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 2.

Following the last out, Ballard appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for North Carolina manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Ballard's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.

The Clippers skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Admirals press conference, Ballard confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Ballard said.

"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Maryland manager added.

To date this season Ballard has compiled a 11-6 record with a 3.29 ERA in 20 starts.
