Gets No Decision Instead of Fifth Win
DANNY DUFFY delivered another of his blue-chip performances Friday night in Lynchburg, Virginia but the relief corps of the Wilmington Blue Rocks could not match it.
Duffy left after five innings leading 3-1 in the Carolina League contest but league-leading Lynchburg struck for five runs in the late innings to win 6-4.
Duffy faced the minimum of three batters in the first and third innings, and saw only four in the fourth and fifth. He gave up his one run in the second on a single, a walk and another single. He struck out three, walked one and gave up four hits.
For the season Duffy now boasts a 4-1 won-loss record, has given up just 30 hits in 37 innings, and has a whopping strikeout-to-walk ratio of 36-10. He pared his earned run average down to 3.16 with Friday’s effort.
The Lynchburg Hillcats are the Advanced Class A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wilmington is with the Kansas City Royals.

Church Shakes Slump
In San Francisco RYAN CHURCH rapped two base hits Friday night to give evidence he may be emerging from a three-week batting slump.
In Church's last two-hit contest twenty games back he racked up three RBI against the Washington Nationals to put his batting average at a blazing .358. Since then he has gone 8-for-50 for .160 to drop his average to .262 entering tonight's contest. He now finds himself at .269.
The Mets play Saturday and Sunday in San Francisco before moving south to face the Dodgers Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
