Waynesboro rallied late to cut an early eight-run Winchester lead to two, but that was as close as the Generals would get in a 15-12 road loss Thursday night.
Starting pitcher Michael Reed (0-3) was touched up for eight runs, all earned, in the first, but Waynesboro was able to get the margin down to 13-11 in the seventh when Grant Fillipitch homered to left field.
A two-run Cody Gaskill homer in the eighth off Generals closer Andrew Blackwell made it 15-11 Winchester. Drew Turocy singled home Jon Clinard from second with two outs in the ninth to make it 15-12, but Cody Hudson struck out swinging to end it.
Fillipitch, Turocy and Zephan Guyear all had three hits for Waynesboro, and T.J. Kuban had a three-run double in the sixth that was a big part of the rally that got Waynesboro back into the game.

Thou I wasn’t at the game, the Generals really put up a great fight there, down by 8 and they get it within 2 runs, to me thats a win, thou the win won’t go down on paper. We have lost 7 straight thou against Winchester and hope we can defeat them once they face us here in Waynesboro. We haven’t won thou up in Winchester since the 1st weekend in June 2008. I know we can defeat them up there someday.
WTG Grant!! 4th HR of the year, so be on All-star team.
