HSBBW's own Zach Duke continues his great work in impressive fashion today by shutting out the best team in Major League baseball, the NY Mets.

Zach scattered a few hits while striking out six allowing only one free pass(BB). Zach is really beginning to mature as a big league pitcher and will be around for a long time after performances like this with the entire world of baseball watching intently as in today's game.

This was Zach's "10th" win in the majors this year to go along with his eight wins last year.

Texas just keeps producing one major league player after another like a conveyor belt!

We are lucky to have this family as a part of our HSBBW messageboard. Keep up the Great Work Zach! We are all very proud of your continued accomplishments. peace, Shep

Zach started off the season slow, but kept at it. And it's paid off. The past two games that he has pitched were good ones.

Gooooo Zach! Gooooo OPP!

Would just like to once again compliment Zachary Duke for his shining example this season for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Great Work out there this season Zachary. OPP, you all should be very proud that your son stands for something and doesn't fall for everything else that blocks so many from reaching the top. Zachary is an excellent role model for so many young prospects who dream.

Sincerely,
Shep

Took this pic a few weeks ago when I was in Pitt for business..... just above the ticket window

Nice pic Gloveman! Zach has arrived and is here to stay! Does me good to see HSBBW alumni doing so well. There will be more success stories from this site that will make huge impacts in Major League baseball in the years to come. What a great place to start with the multicultural backgrounds and diverse personalities here at this messageboard, or melting pot, for the lack of the use of a better word. peace
