Quotes:

Orleans coach Kelly Nicholson-  “Duffy had a huge summer.  “He’s a hard worker, and he’s a good baseball player. He can play second, short, third, you can probably run him into the outfield. Our backup catcher signed today, and (Duffy) told me he could catch. He’s just a hard worker. He’s a great, great Cape story.”
