The Harrisonburg Turks (1-5) will play at Veterans Memorial Park again on Friday. They play the Charlottesville TomSox (5-1) at 7:30pm. The probable starters for the game will be Mason Studstill (1-0) for the Turks and Justin Sorokowski (0-0) for the TomSox.

Tony Beam went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Turks. Tanner Dofflemeyer and Austin Embler each had hits to go along with an RBI. Ty Andrus for the Turks extended his hit-streak to six games with his 1-for-5 performance.

Colin Reid earned his first decision of the season. He pitched 5.2 innings, giving up three hits on three runs and added four strikeouts. Zak Devermann took his first loss of the season. He pitched five innings and gave up four hits on four runs and had six strikeouts.
