The Tulsa Drillers shut out the Wichita Aeros 2-0 today behind the strong pitching of Karl Best. Best surrendered only 8 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 6.

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

The Aeros skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Drillers press conference, Best confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

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

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

This season Best has compiled a 9-8 record with a 4.15 ERA in 17 starts.
