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.

Unearned Runs Prove Costly in 8-4 Generals Loss
The General defense made 3 errors Wednesday night in New Market at Rebel Park. All 3 led to multiple runs scoring during the same innings, with only 1 of the 8 New Market runs being earned.
The Generals offense came alive in the 4th inning to break a tie at zero after 3 complete innings. Dalton Wingo (UCF) started the top half of the inning with a single and moved to second on a wild pitch soon after. Bruno Teramoto (New Mexico St) followed him up with a double to drive in the first run of the ballgame for either side. The next 2 General hitters reached to load the bases with nobody out. Andrew Orzel (Wofford) drew a full count walk to bring in Teramoto to make the score 2-0 in favor of the Generals. New Market was able to roll a much-needed double play ball to shortstop, but the Generals tacked on another. Finally, the 4th and final run of the ballgame for Waynesboro scored on a wild pitch. The New Market pitching staff did a nice job of shutting down the offense for the rest of the game.
The bottom of the 4th wasn’t kind at all to the Generals. Graham Ashcraft (Mississippi St) was cruising along nicely through 3 innings when he began to feel some discomfort. He left the game after going just 3.1 innings and was responsible for two runners on. Adan Fernandez and Justin King came up with back to back RBI singles and were aided by a throwing error by the General left fielder. Nick Parr (Oakland) was able to get a double play ball to escape any more danger and hang on to the lead after 4 complete.
The Rebels would chip away again in the 6th inning when Oraj Anu reached by an error with one out, moved up on a wild pitch, and eventually scored an unearned run on a single by Adan Fernandez. All of this being said, the Generals still finished 6 innings with a 4-3 lead.
Things then became to unravel in the 7th. After a one out single chased Parr from the game, the flood gates opened. A fielder’s choice error seemed to have Waynesboro on the ropes, but Jacob Weirich (Southern Miss) managed to strike out another Rebel hitter to give the Generals 2 outs. This was followed by a walk, a hit-by-pitch, and a trio of RBI singles totaling 5 runs in the 7th frame alone. The score after 7 complete was 8-4.
Other than a 2-out double by new arrival Chase Cheek (Duke) in the top of the 8th, the Gens went away quietly in the final frames of the game.
Key Performers for New Market:
- Adan Fernandez: 3-4, 4 RBI
- Justin King: 2-4, 2 RBI
