Sikes Orvis (junior, Ole Miss) had a two-run single in the first, and Jeff Conley (junior, Alderson-Broaddus) had a three-RBI double in the fourth that broke the game open, giving the Generals a commanding 10-0 lead.
All told, Waynesboro had 17 hits on the night against North Division-leading Woodstock, which came into the game ranked 14th in the country in the Perfect Game USA summer baseball rankings.
Starting pitcher Corey Armentrout (sophomore, Bridgewater) improved to 2-1 on the season, giving up just an unearned run on four hits in six innings of work, striking out seven and walking none.
