Sunday Night Review

New Market 10, Harrisonburg 9

New Market puts up a six-spot in the first inning and then holds on for the 10-9 win at Harrisonburg. With the win, the Rebels maintain a half-game lead over Luray for first place in the Central.

The two teams combined for 19 runs on 21 hits and seven errors and Zak Messer paced the visitors with three hits in six at-bats while driving in a pair of runs.

Eric Alessio improved to 5-0 this summer by allowing one earned run on three hits in the first five innings.

Mike Schwartz led the Turks with three RBI.

Luray 5,6 - Woodstock 4,1 (Game one 10 inn.)

Luray stayed on New Market's heels by sweeping a home doubleheader from Woodstock, winning 5-4 in 10 innings in the opener before taking game two 6-1.

Daniel Bowman had three hits and Pablo Bermudez had two RBI for the Wranglers in game one; Bermudez continued his big night with a 2 for 4, 3 RBI performance in the nightcap.

Gerardo Ceceres was 2 for 4 in both games of the double-dip for the River Bandits.

Covington 4, Waynesboro 2

JJ Muse and Ryan Durrence each had two hits and a pair of runs batted in to push Covington past Waynesboro in an important South Division contest. With four games remaining, Waynesboro must win out and hope that Woodstock loses out and Fauquier does not win more than once in order to remain in the wildcard race. The Generals can also make the playoffs by catching the Lumberjacks for second place in the South.

Tony Caldwell and Brooks Cullen each had two hits for Waynesboro.

Front Royal 11, Haymarket 3

Front Royal expanded its lead over idle Winchester and eliminated Haymarket from North Division title contention with an 11-3 win over the Senators. Matt Bowling struck out eight in six innings and Dan Evatt paced the Cards offense with two hits and four RBI.

Tom La Stella, Zeth Stone and Andrew Lawrence had two hits each for the Senators.

Staunton 9, Rockbridge 4

Staunton wins its sixth straight, and its fourth over Rockbridge this week, with a 9-4 win over the Rapids Sunday night. Blake McDade was 3-for-5 and Kyle Blackburn and Todd Brazeal each belted homers to lead the Braves offense.

Sam Roberts, Joe Charron, Spencer Payne and Adam McConnell had two hits each for Rockbridge with Spencer belting a homer.
