Atlantic City, N.J. - J.C. Huguet twirled a complete-game two-hitter as the Atlantic City Surf defeated the Nashua Pride, 5-0, in a Can-Am League affair on Monday evening at Bernie Robbins Stadium.
In a game that took just two hours and 12 minutes to complete, Huguet retired the first ten batters he faced, struck out five and walked just one to improve his record to 4-0.
