The Waynesboro Generals (12-3) stretched their win streak to six games and have now won twelve of their last thirteen by defeating the Charlottesville Tom Sox (6-9) 9-3 on Monday night at Linco Park. This win proved to be much less stressful coming off back-to-back walk-off wins in the previous nights.

 

The Generals received a quality start by Alex Ernestine (Nicholls State) as he went 6.0 strong innings, giving up 8 hits, 3 earned runs, and 0 walks, while striking out 5 and earning the win. Tyler Elwer (Georgia State) and Merritt Huber (Wofford) threw the final three innings in scoreless relief, while giving up 0 hits. The Generals’ pitching staff completed the night by throwing only 122 pitches and surrendering 0 walks.

 

At the plate, the Generals were led by Tracy Hadley (Southern Miss) as he went 3-4 with 1 run scored, 3 RBI’s, and 2 doubles. Zach Sterry (Oakland) finished the night 1-3 and added to his home-run total (3) by launching a solo home-run in the first inning. Tanner Poole (Mississippi State), Trey Stine (New Mexico St.) and Kyle Jackson (Elon) all had multiple hits for the Generals.

 

Waynesboro returns to action Tuesday night as they take the short trip to face the Staunton Braves (5-9) and Tyler Howe (Alabama State) will get the start.
