Bacot Magic in 4-0 Shutout Saturday, July 23rd , 2005 The Modesto A's shut out the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, 4-0, behind the strong pitching of Paul Bacot. Bacot surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 3. Following the last out, Bacot appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Rancho Cucamonga manager Gavin Baker, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Bacot's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Quakes skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the A's press conference, Bacot confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Bacot said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Modesto manager Jake Leon added. In 22 starts this year, Bacot has crafted a 5-5 record and a 3.38 ERA. |
