Rivera Skunks Athletic Club KC, 5-0: The Ogallala Octopi shut out the Athletic Club KC U-21 5-0 today behind the strong pitching of Alonso Rivera. Rivera surrendered only 3 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8.
Following the last out, Rivera appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Athletic Club KC manager Andrew Berven, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Rivera's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.
The U-21 skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Octopi press conference, Rivera confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.
"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Rivera said.
"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Ogallala manager Félix Cruz added.
