Junior Jeff Blout struck out 14 Red Raiders and hurled a five-hitter to lead the Dragons to their fourth straight win in a 4-0 shutout of North Quincy, setting the stage for Wednesday’s Patriot League showdown with undefeated Hingham at Chandler Field in Duxbury at 4.

Since losing a 6-3 decision to Marshfield over school break, Coach Barney Earle’s team has reeled off lopsided wins over four Patriot League opponents, averaging 11 runs per game.

Friday’s game with North Quincy remained scoreless through the top of the fourth inning, but Duxbury got the only run it would need in the bottom of the inning when senior Shane DiBona walked and moved to second on a single by junior Matt Savard. Junior Pat McWilliams walked to the plate and immediately singled home what would prove to be the winning run.

Blout cruised through the top of the fifth with a pair of strike outs, and he got two more insurance runs in the bottom of the inning for a 3-0 lead.

A Sean Cross double and a Phil Sciretta single accounted for the first run, while DiBona’s single brought home Sciretta, who had stolen second.

A Cross RBI single in the sixth inning plated the final Duxbury run.

Blout made a statement in the top of the seventh by striking out the side after giving up a pair of singles.

Earlier in the week, Blout came on in relief of Tyler Genereux to secure Duxbury’s 7-4 win over Rockland.

Genereux went five innings and gave up five hits for the win, while Sciretta went 3 for 4 with a triple and an RBI. DiBona (2 RBI) and Savard (RBI) also has two hits each in the win.
