FUQUAY-VARINA - Fuquay-Varina’s expected strength this season was its bevy of returning batters. But the pitching has been unmistakably pivotal in the Bengals’ first three games this year.

In three games, the Bengals have allowed just five runs.

Ranked No. 10 in the Impact Baseball preseason poll, Fuquay kept its unbeaten record intact thanks to another strong night on the mound as it defeated visiting Panther Creek 2-1 on Thursday night.

The Catamounts (2-4), were held to five hits, including two infield singles, by Fuquay pitchers Garrett Suggs and Clint Williams.

Williams worked the sixth and seventh innings to pick up the win.

“When I’m coming in to close like that, I really just gas it up and throw real hard,” said Williams, who allowed one hit and struck out three. “(The pitchers) have been doing really well, throwing strikes and just getting people out.”
