Jimenez Sparkles in 10-0 Blanking of Southern Melbourne University Wednesday, April 30th , 1952 The Cumana University Fighting Lions shut out the Southern Melbourne University Dingos, 10-0, behind the strong pitching of Alex Jimenez. Jimenez surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 5. Following the last out, Jimenez appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Southern Melbourne University manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Jimenez's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Dingos skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Fighting Lions press conference, Jimenez confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Jimenez said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Cumana University manager added. On his stats sheet for the year Jimenez shows a 7-2 record, 13 starts, 89.2 innings, 56 strikeouts and a 3.51 ERA. |
