Kern Too Tough, Blanks Traverse City: The Brownsville Brown Cows shut out the Traverse City Cherries 7-0 today behind the strong pitching of Josh Kern. Kern surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 12.
Following the last out, Kern appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Traverse City manager Jose Torres, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Kern's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The Cherries skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Brown Cows press conference, Kern confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Kern said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Brownsville manager Ernesto Ortega added.
This season Kern has gone 4-0 with an ERA of 0.91, posting 53 strikeouts in 39.2 innings.
