Senators, Smith Silence Richmond, 3-0
Monday, August 29th , 2039
The Harrisburg Senators shut out the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-0 today behind the strong pitching of Dave Smith. Smith surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 12.

Following the last out, Smith appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Richmond manager Ryan Ripken, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Smith's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.

The Flying Squirrels skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Senators press conference, Smith confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Smith said.

"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Harrisburg manager Blake Lalli added.

So far this year Smith has a 3-1 record with a 2.72 ERA.
