DANNY DUFFY led the Wilmington Blue Rocks to a headline victory in the opener of Saturday’s doubleheader with the Frederick Keys.
Duffy (7-3) tossed a masterpiece, allowing only a single unearned run on two hits over seven innings. He retired the last 14 batters he faced. It was the left-hander's first complete game of his career (doubleheader games are only seven innings in duration), and it equaled his longest outing of the season.
Duffy struck out seven, walked nobody, and gave up just two singles.
As noted he retired the Keys in order in the fourth, fifth, six and seventh innings.
The unearned run came on a single, an error, a bunt single and a sacrifice bunt.
Duffy lowered his earned run average to 3.40. After two sub-par outings he has now reeled off 10 and one-third innings without allowing an earned run.
His strikeout-to-walk ratio for the season is now 87-29. His 87 strikeouts rank #2 in the Carolina League.
