Castro Shackles Dallas
The Houston Drillers shut out the Dallas Wranglers, 3-0, behind the strong pitching of Francisco Castro. Castro surrendered only 1 hit in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 1.

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

The Wranglers skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Drillers press conference, Castro confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

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

"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Houston manager Steven Palps added.

This year, Castro has compiled a 9-2 mark with a 2.58 ERA.
