Burrows, a junior, struck out the first 19 batters. The 20th batter bunted, but was thrown out for the second out in the seventh inning. Killingly's Hunter Yaworski struck out next, but reached first when the third strike was in the dirt and got away Burrows then struck out the last batter to finish off the masterpiece. "I've never seen anything like it,'' Waterford coach Art Peluso said. "He just pounded the strike zone. And he only threw 84 pitches, I think that's the most amazing thing. He was always ahead on the count. He just spotted his curveball. His stuff was electric.'' Burrows (1-1) threw 83 pitches in four innings in his first start of the season, a 6-2 loss to East Lyme on April 3. "He had a tough outing against East Lyme,'' Peluso said. "And he said that would never happen again. His stuff today would have beaten anyone. He was kind of pitching uphill against East Lyme. This time you could see the difference; everything was downhill. They tried to bunt several times. You take that away and they maybe made contact five times.'' Dylan Bosco was 3-for-4 with five RBI and Sonny Pezzello had two hits and drove in two runs for Waterford (3-1, 1-0). Killingly is 2-1, 0-1. [/QUOTE]
