Gloucester's Lutz pitches one-hitter

In American Legion play Wednesday night, Daniel Lutz pitched a one-hitter in Gloucester Post 75's 4-2 home win over Hampton Post 31 at Gloucester High.

Lutz struck out six for Post 75, which overcame a 2-1 deficit with a three-run fourth. Justin Belvin scored twice for the hosts.

WARWICK POST 255 11, WILLIAMSBURG POST 39 5

John Lynch hit a three-run homer for the victors at Mid-County Park. The victors capitalized on five errors by the hosts.

SMITHFIELD POST 49 10, YORKTOWN POST 165 2

Jacob Evans had four RBI as Smithfield (4-2) rolled on York High's field, dropping Post 165 to 6-2. The visitors broke open the game with a six-run sixth to go ahead 9-1.

Phillip Hines had three hits of Smithfield's 14.

I'm told Yorktown was missing a lot of guys tonight, and you could definitely tell these teams had been on hiatus for a week. Smithfield adjusted better, however, had seven hitting standouts and, though Smithfield capitalized on four Yorktown errors, those errors proved almost non-issues as Smithfield's hot bats turned unearned runs into earned runs; all but one of their runs was earned when the dust cleared.

Another solid defensive effort by the 49ers as well; only one error, and second baseman Cole Irvine had two gold glove catches on dribbling line drives in shallow right.
