Chris Graham

Harrisonburg swept the regular-season series with Waynesboro. The Generals swept the series that mattered. A two-out, two-run single by Kevin Fagan lifted Waynesboro to an improbable 4-3 win over the Harrisonburg Turks Monday night in Waynesboro. The victory gave the Generals a two-game playoff-series sweep over the Turks, the 2013 regular-season champs, who had outscored Waynesboro 44-14 in the six-game regular-season series sweep.

Earth Talk: Sea level rises not letting up anytime soon

Roddy Scheer

Since sea level measurements were first recorded, in 1870, global averages have risen almost eight inches. The annual rate of rise has been 0.13 inches over the past 20 years, which is close to twice the average from the previous 80 years. Future estimates for sea levels vary according to region but most Earth scientists agree that sea levels are expected to rise at a greater pace than during the last 50 years.
