The Marauders certainly lived up to the seeding against No. 6 Albion in the quarterfinals as they secured a 13-0 win in five innings while just giving up one hit.

Senior ace Greg Orcutt allowed the hit and a walk while striking out six batters in his four innings of work.

“Greg was good from the start and in total control,” Dunkirk head coach Frank Jagoda said. “Defensively, Tony Piede made a great catch in right field and Dylan Bankoski made the catch of the game on a deep, deep ball to left-center. Good pitching, good defense and good hitting, what more could you ask for?”

While Orcutt needed very little run support, his teammates still gave it to him with Josh Lemanski leading the charge by going 2 for 4 with a three-run home run. Henry Leone was 3 for 3 with two doubles and two RBIs, Gabe Valentine went 2 for 2 with two runs and an RBI, Thomas Shaffer hit a double and picked up two RBIs, and Anthony Cosme added a double.
