Bukolt’s Stellar Performance Lifts Dunedin Over Tarpon

PBR Florida

Tarpon Springs, FL - It was rivalry night on Thursday where the Tarpon Springs Spongers hosted the Dunedin Falcons in a pitching duel where there were only four hits combined. For Dunedin, uncommitted 2021 Noah Bukolt got the start and was absolutely superb. He featured an above average fastball, matching it with a very well thrown 12-6 curve that had Tarpon’s hitters off balanced all night. Bukolt went the distance for a CG shutout, ending his night with 11 strikeouts, one hit, and only one walk. 


For Tarpon, SCF commit 2020
Ryan McCauley got the start. Dunedin got to him early in the first thanks to a couple errors and small ball, but he settled in very nicely after the 1st. He was showing off his lively fastball, mixing in a curve and change-up that had the hitters guessing. McCauley also went the distance allowing one earned run, seven strikeouts, and allowing just three hits.


Offensively for Dunedin, 2021 USF commit
Marcus Brodil reached base twice and scored the Falcons first run of the game early in the first. He got to show off his speed and athleticism by beating out an infield single and making a few key plays out in CF.

2020’s Tristan Mortan and Mitchell Mussler also had a hit of their own to help Dunedin get their second run on the board. In a great pitching matchup, Dunedin held on to win 2-0.
