Leonard Tosses 5-0 Shutout Monday, August 2nd, 1982 The Hawaii Islanders shut out the Spokane Indians 5-0 today behind the strong pitching of Robert Leonard. Leonard surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 10. Following the last out, Leonard appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Spokane manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Leonard's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Indians skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Islanders press conference, Leonard confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Leonard said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Hawaii manager added. Thus far this season Leonard has compiled a 4-5 record, made 4 relief appearances with 1 save, hurling 80.1 innings and striking out 88. He has held the opposition to a .206 batting average with a 4.37 ERA. View Boxscore |
