William Oconnor pitches his 1st shutout of the season

GONDOLIN - Bucklebury's southpaw William Oconnor is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. Gondolin found out the hard way on April 30, getting just 2 hits. Oconnor 1st shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 2nd shutouts in his career. 'Things like that happen. You take the mound and everything works. My velocity was pretty good today and I guess it showed.' Oconnor (2-1) struck out an astounding 13 and walked 2, throwing 69 of 107 pitches for strikes. Bucklebury's leftfielder Samwise Peatfingers collected 1 hit in 3 trips to the plate, blasting a homerun, and collecting 3 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Oconnor. The final score of the game was 4-0.
