UTICA, Mich. – Right-handed pitcher Spencer Stockton (1-0) had the sell out crowd on their edge of the seats for most of the game, taking a perfect game into the sixth inning, and finished with a one-hitter, striking out nine, as the Utica Unicorns (4-1) shut out the Westside Woolly Mammoths (0-3), 5-0, on Friday night at Jimmy John’s Field.
