Birtsas Sends Savannah Bats to Deep Freeze
The Montgomery Rebels shut out the Savannah Indians 1-0 today behind the strong pitching of Tim Birtsas. Birtsas surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 5.

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

The Indians skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Rebels press conference, Birtsas confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

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

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

On his stats sheet this season Birtsas shows a 5-3 record, 7 starts, 63.2 innings, 58 strikeouts and a 4.52 ERA.
