Decker Spins Gem, Newark Wins
John Decker was superb against Cottage City. The left-hander, who is tied for 6th in the N-A with a 9.8 K/9 rate, had a fastball that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Flyers victory. The score was 8-3. Aaron Wakefield earned the save for Newark. Newark is in second place in the Northern A East Division with a record of 80-47.

Decker was in the zone all game. He frustrated Cottage City hitters while giving the Flyers 6 innings of quality work. Decker threw 85 pitches, allowing 1 hit and getting 9 punchouts.

"I just tried to focus on getting that first guy out every inning," said Decker.
