Waynesboro Takes A Beating in 11-1 Loss to Charlottesville
Charlottesville was able to put up all 11 of their runs in the first 4 innings. The Gens never really threatened their lead afterwards.
It started right away in the first. After the Gens went 3 up, 3 down, Charlottesville started by getting their first three batters on. The lead-off batter reached on the first of 5 errors made by the Gens on the night. He was followed with a walk before Dom DAllessandro’s RBI double. The next batter grounded into an RBI 5-3 put out to put up the final run in the first inning.
The Generals once again couldn’t formulate much other than a 2-out single by Bryce Teodosio (Clemson). Teodosio had a pretty good night at the park, but that was about the only bright spot. In the bottom of the 2nd, the TomSox really opened it up by scoring 6 runs. It wasn’t until the 9th batter in the inning that the Gens were able to record the first out of the inning. By that time, they had already scored 5 runs. The 6th and final run was put on the board by an RBI fielder’s choice.
The TomSox would continue to prove relentless. They scored 3 more in the bottom of the 4th inning. The Generals made 2 errors, walked one, and gave up only 1 hit in the inning. However, the TomSox made the most of the hit and also added a sacrifice fly to put up their 3 runs to make it 11-0.
The only bit of offense for the Generals came on a solo home run by Bryce Teodosio in the top of the 7th inning. Teodosio racked up 3 hits to lead the club in that aspect. The 11-1 score after the homer would be the final

Generals Put Up 20 Runs In Win Over Woodstock
Monday night in Woodstock was the second time this summer that the Gens have put up 20 hits in a game. Both have come within a week of each other. To go along with those 20 hits, they also put up 20 runs.
The Generals started the second half of the year with a bang. They put up 5 runs in the top of the first inning. The first batter of the game was Tyler Bielmaowicz (Houston) and he drew a walk. After recording an out, Bryce Teodosio (Clemson) walked to put runners at first and second. Alex Webb (Chipola) would single to load the bases. Andrew Orzel (Wofford) would be hit by his league leading 14th pitch to bring in the first run. Jackson Webb (UCF) would single through the left side to bring in another run with only one out in the inning. His teammate at UCF, Dalton Wingo, would follow him up with an RBI bases loaded walk. Joe Bellini (Cincinnati) would ground into an RBI fielder’s choice, but when Woodstock tried turning two, the throw was wide of the first baseman to allow another run to score. That would make the score 5-0.
Woodstock showed some fight early by getting on the scoreboard early. It started with a lead-off single by Anthony Cuozzi. He would move to second on a wild pitch, to third on a groundout to the right side, and would score on a 2 out single by Alex Goebel. The score after 1 complete would be 5-1. After the first, the game started to get ugly little by little.
In the second inning, Tyler Bielamowicz led off the inning with his first home run of the summer to make the score 6-1. We move on to the third where the Generals would score again. Dalton Wingo would start things off with a double. Joe Bellini would follow him up with a single. With runners on first and third, Tyler Bielamowicz would bring in another run by way of groundout. A close play at the plate would go in favor of Waynesboro. In the 4th innning, the Generals would score once again. This inning started with another double. This time it was Bryce Teodosio. Teodosio would steal third for Andrew Orzel who would single to bring him in.
It was in the 5th that the Generals started to score more than just one in an inning. They put up 4 runs in the 5th and 4 more in the 6th. The 5th started out with a lead off walk by Bruno Teramoto (New Mexico St), a hit-by pitch for Tyler Bielamowicz, a strikeout, and a single by Teodosio to load the bases. After another strike out to make it two outs in the inning, Andrew Orzel drew a bases loaded walk for an RBI. Jackson Webb would try his hand at the bases loaded situation and would also work a walk. Tyler Trovinger (Oakland) would be subbed into the game and would promptly follow suit with another bases loaded walk. Joe Bellini would make it 4 straight with a walk to bring in the 4th and final run of the 5th inning.
In the 6th, the inning was started by Tyler Bielamowicz with more of the same… A walk. Dylan Cloonan (Miami) would then double to put runners at second and third. Teodosio would load the bases with a hit-by-pitch. Alex Webb would contribute a sacrifice fly for the first run in the inning. Orzel would re-load the bases with another walk. Jackson Webb would draw his second bases loaded walk in the last 2 innings. Joe Bellini would hit a 2-out 2 RBI single to right field to bring in the final run of the 6th inning. After 6 complete, the score would read 16-1 in favor of Waynesboro.
The top of the 7th was the only inning the Generals didn’t score in. No worries though, they scored 2 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th. Alex Webb started the 8th with a single. He was followed by a flyout, a walk to Jackson Webb, and a single by Tyler Trovinger to load the bases. Joe Bellini would drive in another run with a single to centerfield. Bruno Teramoto would get in on the fun and drive in a run with a single to left field. That would be the end of that threat. In the 9th, Coach Jeanes would turn to an almost complete pitcher’s lineup. Right Handed Pitcher Fred Villarreal (Houston) would start things out with an infield single. Villarreall would be brought in by a Nick Parr (Oakland), a Right Handed Pitcher. Parr ripped a double over the head of the right fielder to bring in Villarreal. Parr reportedly went to Oakland as a two-way player but the coaching staff elected to keep him as a pitcher only. Hunter Shuff (USC Aiken), another Right Handed Pitcher, would also get in the fun with a single through the right side. Finally, Joe Bellini would drive in Parr for his 6th RBI of the night to bring the score to 20-1. That would be the final score in Woodstock.

Generals Win Independence Day Matchup Over Charlottesville
After jumping out to a 6-0 lead, the TomSox came all the way back to tie the game in the bottom of the 7th. Enter Bryce Teodosio (Clemson). On the second pitch of the top of the 8th inning, Teodosio hammered a ball over the centerfield fence for his second 8th inning, go-ahead homer of the year to put the Gens on top for good.
After 2 complete innings, neither team had really even threatened to score. Matt Ellmyer (Wofford) was dualing against his Wofford College teammate Jake Hershman for Charlottesville. In the top of the 3rd, the Generals were able to crack Hershman. The bats would come alive with vengeance with 6 straight hits to start the inning. Bruno Teramoto (New Mexico St.) started it off. He was moved to second by a Joe Bellini (Cincinnati) single and to third by a Gabe Montenegro (Southern Miss) single. Chase Cheek (Duke) put the first run on the board with yet another single. Andrew Orzel (Wofford) would follow suit and hit a single that brought in two runs and moved Cheek around to third. Cheek would come in to score on a wild pitch during Alex Brait’s (Florida Gulf Coast) at bat. Later in Brait’s at bat, he would double to bring in Orzel. The score after 3 was 5-0.
Matt Ellmyer was impressive in his start. He went 5 shutout innings while only allowing 4 hits. The Generals would allow him to pitch with a 6 run lead after they tacked on one more run in the top of the 5th inning. Chase Cheek led off the inning with a single to right field. He would eventually steal second. With 2 outs in the inning, Bryce Teodosio would step up and deliver the 6th run courtesy of a single to center field.
It wasn’t until the 6th inning after Ellmyer had been taken out that the TomSox would wake up offensively. The TomSox would put up 5 in the bottom of the 6th. The first 3 batters of the inning worked their way on without having to make contact with the baseball. It went HBP, Walk, HBP for the first 3 to load the bases. The next hitter would single to bring in one. 2 more runs scored on the next play when a groundball was misplayed by the General defense. That was followed by a sacrifice fly to left field for out number 1. The next batter would ground out to second base, but would be followed with back to back singles to drive in yet another run. The score after 6 complete was 6-5 in favor of Waynesboro.
In the 7th, the TomSox would tie the game after a leadoff double and some manufacturing. The lead off double was moved to third on a groundball to the second baseman. He then scored on another grounder to the second baseman. The score was right back where we started at. Tie ball game, 6-6, going into the top of the 8th.
It didn’t stay tied for long. Bryce Teodosio sent his second homer of the year out in dramatic fashion. This would give the Generals the lead with only 6 more outs to record. In the bottom of the 8th, Aron Solis (Texas Southern) came on to pitch. He immediately gave up a leadoff double. This situation had Gens fans feeling a bit uneasy at CVille Weekly Ballpark. However, Solis did masterful work at getting around the TomSox hitters to hold on to the lead. The runner was never able to advance from second after a flyout to left field for out number 1, a strikeout for out number 2, and a ground ball to third base for out number 3.
In the bottom of the 9th, Solis trotted back out to the mound to try and get 3 more outs. This time, he didn’t even let the TomSox think about tying the game. He started the inning with a hard hit flyout to center field. He followed that up with his second strikeout of his appearance. Finally, the third out was recorded on a ground ball to the first baseman. The final score was 7-6.

Gens Bounce Back With Late Win Over Strasburg
Bryce Teodosio (Clemson) was cleared to play Sunday morning after the second half of his Freshman year at Clemson was ended due to a collarbone injury. With runners on 1st and 3rd, Bryce Teodosio, in only his 4th at-bat with the team, sent a go-ahead 3-Run homer over the centerfield fence in the 8th inning.
The scoring was hard to come by until the top of the 4th. Strasburg started Macklin Ohs got the first two hitters of the inning out, but Teodosio started things with a single. He was attempting to steal when Alex Webb (Chipola) singled to right. Once the ball got by the right fielder, Teodosio came all the way around to score. Dalton Wingo (UCF) followed it up with a single to drive in Webb. The Gens had struck for 2 in the top of the 4th.
Fred Villarreal (Houston) was the starter in the game for the Gens. He worked his way through 6+ innings, but when the Express struck for a double and a single to start the inning, he gave way to Aron Solis (Texas Southern) to get out of the inning. He wasn’t able to strand Villarreal’s 2 runs, but didn’t allow any more damage. The score after 7 complete innings was 2-2.
The Gens didn’t take long to answer. It all started with 2 outs in the 8th. Andrew Orzel (Wofford) walked to get the first runner on. Alex Brait (FGCU) then worked his way on with another walk. Then on a 1-2 count, Bryce Tedosio teed off on a fastball to send it over the center field fence. The 3 run homer put the Gens on top 5-2.
The Strasburg Express would add one run in the bottom of the 8th off Solis. After getting the first out of the inning, Solis let a fastball ride just a little too far inside and hit the batter. He then proceeded to get the next out. However, Strasburg wasn’t going to go away quietly. The next hitter worked a full count walk to put runners on first and second and to bring the tying run to the plate. Michael Koenig then drilled a single to left to score a run, making it 5-3 with runners on first and second again. The go-ahead run was now at the plate, but Solis kept his cool and got a fly out to left. Solis would continue to keep his cool and would work a 1-2-3 ninth to get the Generals off the 3 game losing streak.
