PORT WING -- The Duluth-Superior Dukes defeated the Port Wing Boilers, 6-0, in an Upper 13 League amateur baseball game at Anderson-Samuelson Field on Sunday.

Winning pitcher Anthony Bush (1-0 W-L, 0.52 ERA) went the distance for the shutout. He allowed eight hits and no walks with eight strikeouts in nine innings.

Jimmy Merling was 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI, Travis Bartlett was 3-for-3 with a run and an RBI, Bob Baxton was 3-for-5 with a run, Corey Verhel was 2-for-4 with a double, a run, and an RBI, and Jon Soto had two RBI for the Dukes.

Derek Jardine and Eric Polkoski had two hits apiece for Port Wing.

Jardine was the losing pitcher. He allowed five runs on nine hits and three walks with five strikeouts in seven and one-third innings.

Bush, who sustained a back injury in March, had not pitched more than two innings in any of his previous seven appearances this season due to stiffness.

Duluth-Superior improves to 2-2 in the Upper 13 League (4-7 overall). Port Wing drops to 1-4 in league play.
