	Donald "Dudley" Walsh Auburn, NY Dudley was hard throwing right-hander and was protege of Jack "Monk" Curtis, a former inductee of the New York State Hall of Fame. He hurled the first of his 25 no-hitters in the summer of 1956 and also compiled a total of 100 shutout in his career. In addition to being a dominant pitcher, Dudley was also a feared hitter perched in the center of the line-up that strung together 7 straight city titles. Dudley was heavily recruited to compete in many State and Regional Tournaments. In 1960 at Fort Ontario, he tossed a one-hitter. In 1966 in Elkland, PA., Dudley again tossed a one-hitter. In 1965 Regional Tournament play in Elmira, NY, Dudley had a one-hit game; while striking out 12 batters. Dudley's tremendous impact on the growth and interest in the game was evident when massive crowds came to watch him pitch against the famous Eddie Geigner and his "King & His Court" teams, in which Dudley had the rare distinction of compiling a win and a loss against the great Feigner. On July 9, 19970, Dudley broke his ankle during a game in his 14th season of play. After recuperating, he returned in 1972 firing another no-hit game. In 1986 Dudley, along with Monk Curtin, were called upon to be the featured participants in a Home Run Derby to benefit Muscular Dystrophy. Young and old competed to see if they could hit a home run against the best pitching tandem Auburn has ever seen. Dudley is an inductee of the Auburn Softball Hall of Fame. \| Hall of Fame Photo Album \| Hamilton Bio \| Marx Bio \| Staples Bio \| Dorazio Bio \| Farrell Bio \| Katcher Bio \| Plummer Bio \| Snyder Bio \| Aurigemma Bio \| Houck Bio \| Veronesi Bio \| GWilliams Bio \| Charles Bio \| Herman Bio \| Caprara Bio \| Crane Bio \| Held Bio \| Lewenn Bio \| Stewart Bio \| Clavio Bio \| Craver Bio \| Doxsey Bio \| Love Bio \| McKenna Bio \| McSweeney Bio \| Costine Bio \| Crisci Bio \| Valachovic Bio \| DeFligio Bio \| Hess Bio \| Caserto Bio \| Dardano Bio \| Ong Bio \| Gaffney Bio \| Mott Bio \| Schneider Bio \| Calcagino Bio \| Chiavelli Bio \| Curtin Jack \| Durante Bio \| Molinaro Bio \| Berman Bio \| Dumah Bio \| Horton Bio \| Key Bio \| Petrillo Bio \| Vasenelli Bio \| Butch Veronesi Bio \| Wells Bio \| Castle Bio \| Gallo Bio \| Moresco Bio \| Morien Bio \| Zovistoski Bio \| Lashomb Bio \| Taurisano Bio \| Argento Bio \| Brown Bio \| Masco Bio \| Boise Bio \| Chappell Bio \| Fetterly Bio \| Goyette Bio \| Millard Bio \| Rathburn Bio \| Hoffman Bio \| Kerr Bio \| Partigianoni Bio \| Passante Bio \| Sanford Bio \| Barker Bio \| Chetney Bio \| Foland Bio \| Eggleston Bio \| Richard Johnson Bio \| Savona Bio \| Bosch Bio \| Kusmuk Bio \| Walsh Bio \| Soricelli Bio \| Jan Fetterly Bio \| Blum Bio \| Gears Bio \| Tom Castle Bio \| Jan Fetterly Bio \| \| Francis E.
