Duprey Thwarts Cincinnati, 6-0
In a seemingly effortless performance, Billy Duprey of the Los Angeles Blockbusters shot down the Cincinnati Packers, 6-0, on 4 hits.

"Billy was just locating so well and using his pitches," Los Angeles manager John Trausch said later. "He wasn't leaving anything over the plate."

Duprey recorded 2 strikeouts and 4 walks in a strong outing.

"When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game," Cincinnati manager Martin Abresch said in postgame comments to BNN. "We couldn't get a key hit off him."

So far this year, Duprey has compiled a 5-1 record with a 2.08 ERA.
