Valerio Hurls Fort Myers to Shutout Victory Monday, August 16th, 1982 The Fort Myers Miracles shut out the Tampa Twisters 3-0 today behind the strong pitching of David Valerio. Valerio surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 7. Following the last out, Valerio appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Tampa 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 Twisters 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 season to date Valerio has a record of 6 wins and 7 losses with a 2.32 ERA, has appeared in 17 games and struck out 93 in 124 innings. View Boxscore |
