The Gloucester High School varsity softball team scored double shutout wins against the Denbigh Patriots last week.
The Lady Dukes defeated the Patriots, 31-0, last Tuesday, April 1, on the road. Pitcher Avery West dominated the Patriots both on the mound and the plate as the freshman pitched a perfect game and hit for the cycle.
West achieved all 15 outs and went to a two-ball count only once during the game. Offensively, West had five hits as she singled and hit a three-run home run in the first inning. She doubled in the second and fifth innings and completed the cycle in the fourth inning with a triple. West also drove in eight RBIs during the game.
Autumn Cookson added three hits and four RBIs, while Alexis Dishman also had three hits. Tessa Carteret had two hits and four RBIs and Hannah Horsley, Lilly Hogan and Ava Smith each contributed multiple hits during the game.
