Motors Garrett Claims 150th Victory
|
What would you do after you had just won your 150th game? Run around Fog Field doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Joseph Garrett -- that's not his way.
After he notched number 150, the 33-year-old Coventry hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Garrett commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help."
Garrett got his milestone victory by beating the London Fog 5-3. He held them to 9 hits in 9 innings and rung up 5 strikeouts with 1 walk.
After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #150. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Garrett's face broke into a big smile.
During his career Garrett has 150 victories and 128 defeats with a 3.01 ERA.
