Isom Hurls Santa Clara to Shutout Victory
Wednesday, May 16th , 1979
The Santa Clara Padres shut out the Lodi Dodgers 4-0 today behind the strong pitching of Curtis Isom. Isom surrendered only 2 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 12.
Following the last out, Isom appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Lodi manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Isom's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Dodgers skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Padres press conference, Isom confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Isom said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Santa Clara manager added.
