Waynesboro Generals sweep Rockbridge, clinch #1 seed

Chris Graham

A two-run seventh-inning rally won game one, and the Waynesboro Generals rolled in game two to complete a sweep of Rockbridge Wednesday night.

The wins – 4-2 in game one and 15-1 in game two – pushed Waynesboro to a share of the league’s best record overall with Winchester. Both teams finished the 2012 regular season with 31-13 records, but Waynesboro gets the #1 overall seed in the Valley League playoffs after having swept Winchester in their two-game season series.

On Wednesday, Waynesboro won a nailbiter in the opener, getting a pair of runs in the seventh on a wild pitch that scored Julian Ridings and a sacrifice fly that scored Ryan Breen.

Josh Bullock nailed down the win in the bottom of the seventh to record his eighth save of the season. Kyle Allen (3-2) picked up the win in relief.

Game two was a laugher after Waynesboro, leading 1-0 on a first-inning RBI triple by Brandon Murray, put up a fivespot in the third on the strength of homers by Bradley Noland and Austin Johnston.

Waynesboro put the game away in the late innings with a two-run triple by Brandon Glazer and a three-run double by Tyrone Smith.

JoJo Woods (1-0) picked up the win.
