The Dukes defeated the Patriots, 15-0, last Thursday. All but three members of the Gloucester lineup got hits during the game. Pitcher Austin Shackelford batted in four runs in two at bats. He also pitched a combined no-hitter with Camden Richardson, who pitched one inning. The game was called at the conclusion of the fifth inning.
Gloucester faced a tough night Tuesday, falling to the Monarchs, 11-0. Only three members of the Gloucester lineup got hits. Hank Hardaway and Shackelford both got hits each time they were at bat.
