Valerio Twirls Miracles to Shutout Win Saturday, July 3rd, 1982 The Fort Myers Miracles shut out the St. Pete Cardinals 4-0 today behind the strong pitching of David Valerio. Valerio surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 5. Following the last out, Valerio appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for St. Pete manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Valerio's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Cardinals skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Miracles press conference, Valerio confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Valerio said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Fort Myers manager added. This year Valerio has gone 2-3 with an ERA of 2.43 and has 28 strikeouts in 37 innings. View Boxscore |
