For the second time in three seasons, the Waynesboro Generals completed a shocking first-round playoff upset of a higher-seeded Harrisonburg Turks team.

Harrisonburg got four runs in the fifth, and James Ziemba and three Turks relievers made them stand up in a 4-2 win over the Waynesboro Generals in Game 1 of the teams’ Valley League best-of-three playoff series.

A two-out, two-run single by Michael Brosseau capped a four-run seventh for Waynesboro, and the Generals held on for a 6-5 win over the Harrisonburg Turks Friday night at Linco Park at Kate Collins Field.

A Clayton Taylor homer in the ninth cut the Harrisonburg lead to one run, but that was as close as Waynesboro could get in a 7-6 loss Saturday night.

Left-hander Donte Lindsay (Bethune-Cookman) delivered five shout-out innings in his first starting assignment and his Harrisonburg teammates provided enough offense in support as the Turks defeated visiting Strasburg, 3-1, Friday night at Veterans Memorial Park.

First baseman Aaron Dodson’s (Baylor) two-run single snapped a 3-3 tie and capped a four-run sixth inning in Harrisonburg’s 5-3 Valley Baseball League victory Tuesday evening against visiting Aldie at Veterans Memorial Park.

Right fielder Kameron Esthay (Baylor) singled up the middle to score center fielder Shane Billings (Wingate) from second base to give league-leading Harrisonburg a 5-4, 10-inning win over visiting Front Royal Monday evening at Veterans Memorial Park.

Michael Brosseau and Jose Estrada homered for Waynesboro, but the Generals couldn’t overcome a rough start from Robert Pearson in a 10-6 loss to the Harrisonburg Turks Friday night.
