Levensailor Spectacular in 3-0 Win Monday, September 10th , 2012 The Dallas Texans shut out the Tampa Bay Thunder, 3-0, behind the strong pitching of Joe Levensailor. Levensailor surrendered only 2 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8. Following the last out, Levensailor appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Tampa Bay manager Kevin Norris, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Levensailor's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Thunder skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Texans press conference, Levensailor confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Levensailor said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Dallas manager Jesus Sanchez added. So far this year, Levensailor has made 8 starts, tossed 82.1 innings, struck out 84 batters and walked 37. His record is 6-2 with a 2.95 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .233 batting average. View Boxscore View Game Log |
