New Market took advantage of uncharacteristic wildness by Waynesboro pitchers, who issued 12 walks to Rebels hitters as New Market rolled to an easy 11-4 win.

Starter GJ Strauss (0-2) gave up six runs on three hits and six walks in an inning and a third. New Market led 7-0 heading into the bottom of the second and 11-1 in the fifth after scoring four runs off reliever Devin Smith.

Andrew Blackwell did his part to keep the game within some striking distance, posting three shutout innings and piling up six strikeouts.

The Generals mounted a brief rally in the seventh, scoring on an RBI single by Dykota Spiess, a sacrifice fly by Chase Worthington and a run-scoring double by MJ Sartin.
