Interviews with Waynesboro Generals players GJ Strauss, Jordan Walton, Dykota Spiess and MJ Sartin following a 15-7 win over Staunton on July 1, 2011.

Down 7-3 entering the bottom of the sixth, the Waynesboro Generals looked to be out of miracles against rival Staunton.

We underestimate.

“There were a lot of guys saying, Don’t worry, guys, we’ve been in this situation before, and it will be fine,” said MJ Sartin, whose pinch-hit two-run triple ignited an eight-run sxith that gave Waynesboro the lead for good as the Generals blasted Staunton by a 15-7 final. (more…)

A Shane Halley two-run homer in the seventh got Waynesboro on the board and ignited a rally that brought the Generals all the way back from a 7-0 deficit to a 9-8 win at rival Staunton Tuesday night.

An MJ Sartin RBI sacrifice fly made it 7-3 Staunton with two outs in the seventh. Two batters later, Bradley Noland tripled down the right-field line to score Andrew Blackwell and Chase Worthington and pull the Generals to within 7-5. (more…)

Down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth, Travis Echols hit a home run to tie the game with Staunton at 3-3, and the Generals scored with two outs in the ninth on a Staunton error to take their fourth in a row over the rival Braves, 4-3, Monday night.

Staunton had seemingly seized control in the seventh with a pair of runs. Matt Dickason led the seventh off with a double and advanced to third on a single by Casey McKay. Dickason would score one batter later on a wild pitch by reliever Devin Smith. Daniel Wright then hit a sacrifice fly to right to advance McKay to third. He would score when a throw by rightfielder Dykota Spiess hit him as he was sliding into third and bounded into the Waynesboro dugout. (more…)

A Jordan Walton two-run single keyed a five-run Waynesboro second that gave the Generals an early cushion, and the Generals held on for a 7-5 victory at Staunton Friday night.

RBI singles by newcomers Keith Picconi and Bradley Noland got the second going. A Scott Wilcox RBI double gave Waynesboro a 4-0 lead. The Walton two-RBI single made it 6-0 and chased Braves starter Jay Wade (0-1), who was charged with six runs, all earned, in an inning and a third.

The Generals had gotten on the board in the first with an RBI single by Walton that scored Noland from third base. (more…)
