DUFFY ACES AGAIN
DANNY DUFFY was in lockdown mode Saturday night as he handcuffed league-leading Lynchburg and lowered his stellar earned run average to 2.66.
The Lompoc lefty shackled the Pittsburgh-affiliated Hillcats on two hits though he did not receive credit for the 1-0 victory since when he left the mound the score remained 0-0.
Duffy allowed just two singles but walked three, all in one inning. He struck out five.
Now after 61 innings in Class A-Advanced Duffy has allowed just 48 hits. He has a strikeout –to-walk ratio of 58-18.
Meanwhile the Carolina League announced that Duffy has been named to the CL All-Star team which will face the California League on June 23 in Lake Elsinore. Duffy, 5-2, ranks #2 in the league in strikeouts and #5 in ERA. He is younger by at least a year than the other top starting pitchers in the league.
