2019 Regular Season Recap
The Generals put together their best regular season since the team was created in 1935. They finished with the best record in the league of 31-11. After starting the year 6-5, the Gens won 25 out of their last 31 games. They had three separate winning streaks of at least five games. Those three streaks include the last five games of the regular season that the Gens were able to win. They enter the playoffs hot at the right time.
Offensively, the Gens put up a .285 batting average with just under 100 doubles and 41 long balls. A big contributor in those categories was Wes Clarke (Forest, VA | South Carolina). Wes finished fifth in the league in hitting with a .364 batting average. He led the team in doubles with 14 and home runs with six. Other key players in getting the batting average up to that high number of .285 were Connor Norby (Kernersville, NC | East Carolina) with a .333 batting average with 4 triples and 4 homers, Jack Murphy (Orinda, CA | St. Mary’s) with a .314 batting average with 11 doubles, three home runs, and 25 RBI, and finally, Gunner Peterson (Salem, WI | Illinois St.) with a .321 batting average with three home runs. The team didn’t just sit around and wait for extra base hits either. They were able to steal 65 bases. Jackson Tate (Pike Road, AL | Alabama) stole 12 to lead the team. Kobe Lopez (Orlando, FL | Florida International) stole 11 bases to follow up Tate. Finally, Bryson Worrell (Sims, NC | East Carolina) stole eight to round out the top three. With all these extra base hits and stolen bases, it should come as no surprise that the team averaged right around eight runs per game. The top five run scorers on the team were Kobe Lopez with 37, Wes Clarke with 33, Jackson Tate with 32, Connor Norby with 31, and Jack Murphy and Joey Kinker (North Port, FL | Florida Gulf Coast) tied with 30. The people with the highest amount of runs driven in looks pretty similar to the people that have scored the most runs. Top five RBI men were Jackson Tate with 31, Wes Clarke with 29, Jack Murphy with 25, Kobe Lopez with 23, and Eli Quiceno (Berryville, VA | Gannon University) with 21. Finally, the Gens organization wants to thank our top five guys in games played. These guys brought it every night for the team and never complained once. Kobe Lopez and Joey Kinker with 40 games played, Jackson Tate and Jack Murphy with 38 games played, Wes Clarke with 37, and Ethan Cady (Soddy Daisy, TN | East Tennessee State) with 32.
Those offensive numbers were phenomenal considering the team’s pitching was so dominant. There were some nights where the pitching had to carry the load, and this team could do it with starters or a suffocating bullpen. Our top 5 pitchers for wins include Deven Judy (Belle Vernon, PA | Gannon University), Zach Kirby (Upland, CA | East Tennessee State), Zach Blankenship (Fleming Island, FL | Valdosta St), Luke Short (Los Gatos, CA | St. Mary’s), and Tyler Shuck (Cape Coral, FL | Florida Gulf Coast). The five-man tie for the team lead in wins saw them get three wins. As for the suffocating bullpen, the team picked up a total of nine saves. McLain Harris (Griffin, GA | Young Harris Col) led the team with three, Christian Edwards (Hartselle, AL | Jacksonville State) had two, and a host of players with one apiece. They include Nick Zegna (Newark, DE | George Mason), Christian Dearman (Pembroke Pines, FL | Florida International), Jan Figueroa (Trujillo Alto, PR | Florida International), and Matt Mercer (Chattanooga, TN | East Tennessee State). The team’s ERA was 3.72 and the total amount of runs given up per game sat at just 4.70. The top five players in ERA for the team were Christian Dearman with a 0.45 ERA, McLain Harris with a 0.85 ERA, Luke Short with a 2.18, Jan Figueroa with a 2.82 ERA, and Deven Judy with a 3.21. The staff was able to strike out a little over nine per game to take pressure off the defense. The top five strikeout men were McLain Harris with 31, Zach Kirby with 29, Deven Judy and Daniel Casto (Olive Branch, MS | Memphis) with 27, and Tyler Shuck and Luke Short with 26.
With the playoffs set, let’s look at how the Generals fared against the possible opponents from both divisions.
#2 Seed in the South: Charlottesville Tom Sox
The Gens were 4-2 against their rivals from just down I-64. However, the Generals won their last four decisions against the Tom Sox. The last time the Tom Sox were victorious over the Gens, it took 10 innings on June 21st. The Tom Sox scored an unearned run in the 10th to win by a score of 2-1. That moved the season series to 2-0 in favor of the Tom Sox. However, the Generals rattled off four straight wins to win the season series. That included three consecutive games for the Generals from July 4th to July 8th.
#3 Seed in the South: Covington Lumberjacks
The Gens were 5-1 against the Jacks on the season. The one victory that the Jacks had against the Gens came on June 4th. They also had a very good opportunity to win a back end of a double header vs. the Gens on July 18th, but the Gens mounted a comeback from three runs down in the top of the sixth of a seven inning game with five runs to win the game 5-4.
#4 Seed in the South: Staunton Braves
The rivalry was a bit one-sided in the regular season. The Gens won all six matchups between the two teams. The Braves had a very good chance on June 26th. The bases were empty in the ninth with two outs in the inning and they were leading by three runs at their home ball park. However, the Gens mounted a comeback that was highlighted by a game-tying 3-run homer by Joey Kinker to tie it up. The Gens would eventually win in the 10th.
#1 Seed in the North: Strasburg Express
The Gens were 3-0 against the North division’s top team. This includes the 17-4 victory in Strasburg on the final day of the regular season for the Gens to clinch the best win-loss record in team history. The other two matchups between the teams saw the Gens winning by a margin of four runs each time.
#2 Seed in the North: Woodstock River Bandits
The Gens finished 2-1 against the River Bandits this season. The two wins they had against Woodstock were both high-scoring affairs. The Gens took the first matchup 20-10 in Woodstock. They mounted a five run comeback in the ninth to tie and eventually win the game in the 11th inning in the second matchup. Finally, the River Bandits came up with a victory against the Gens in Woodstock.
#3 Seed in the North: New Market Rebels
The Gens lost the season series 2-1 to the Rebels this season. The Rebels were only one of two teams in the entire Valley League that had a winning record vs the Generals. The Gens took the opening game in New Market on June 6th by a score of 13-5. But The Rebels swept a double header at Kate Collins Field on June 16th. The Rebels took both games by one run. The first game finished at 5-4 and the second finished at 2-1.
#4 Seed in the North: Winchester Royals
The Winchester Royals were the other of the two teams that had winning records vs. the Gens this summer. The first matchup on June 27th saw the Gens pick up their one win over Winchester with a 10-6 score. A go-ahead 3-run homer by Ethan Cady in the bottom of the 5th would prove to be the game-winner. However, the Royals took the next two games of the series. The first was at Waynesboro that they connected on a couple homers to win 9-6. The other was in Winchester when they shut out the Gens 4-0. That marked the only time the Gens were shutout on the season.
Now that the scene is set, it’s time to enjoy some playoff baseball in the Valley League! Game One of the first series against the Staunton Braves is Sunday, July 28th, at Integrity Home Mortgage Park at Kate Collins Field at 7 PM. The Gens are looking for their 7th VBL Championship and first since 2014.
Gens Win Fourth Straight
Even though the Generals were facing one of the top arms in the league on Thursday night, they managed 10 runs on 15 hits to put up their 13th win of the season and fourth win in a row.
With Winchester’s Michael Anderson on the mound, the Gens figured to have a low scoring affair. Anderson was 3-0 with a 2.94 ERA coming into the ballgame with wins over some of the top teams in the league. However, when Winchester came out swinging, the Gens knew they needed to keep swinging the bats the way they have been the past 5 games.
The Royals scored two runs right out of the gate. An error, a walk, and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases with nobody out in the inning. After a strikeout recorded the first out of the inning, Winchester came up with a sacrifice fly to center field to score the game’s first run. The next batter hit a ground ball to short stop for what looked to be the third out of the inning. However, the throw across the infield was a low one and wasn’t able to be dug out. The first inning for Winchester included two runs on no hits and two errors by the Gens.
The Generals didn’t take long to bounce back in the bottom of the first. Kobe Lopez (Florida International) started things off with a single down the left field line. He took a big round and thought about heading for second, but decided against it. It ended up being a great decision because in an 0-2 count on the very next batter, Joey Kinker (Florida Gulf Coast) hammered a no-doubter into the pine trees in straight away left field for his second home run of the summer. It was also his second consecutive at-bat with a home run after hitting the game tying homer against Staunton the night before.
The Royals responded right away in the top of the second inning. A single by Will Long lead off the inning. He was moved to second base on a tapper back to the mound that the Generals fielded cleanly for out number one. Another single, this time by Trent Burgreen, put runners on the corners with one out in the inning. Mason Prososki then skied one to left to drive in their third run of the ball game.
The Gens would match the run total in the inning to tie the game again in the bottom of the second inning. Back-to-back singles by Jackson Tate (Alabama) and Jack Murphy (St. Mary’s) had things off and running. Jackson Greene (Florida State) rolled a grounder to the third baseman, but it was so well placed and slowly hit that Murphy was able to move into second, and Tate was able to score from third. The game was tied after 2 complete innings with a score of three to three.
The Royals scored for a third consecutive inning to start the ball game. Singles from Dyer and Palenski had runners at first and second with nobody away. After a strikeout for the first out, Will Long would come up huge with a double that perfectly directed the center and right fielders for a bases clearing double. The score going to the bottom of the third was now 5-3.
Finally in the bottom of the third, the Gens said enough is enough and would take the lead instead of just matching scores. Elijah Quiceno (Gannon University) would start the hitting with a one out single. Bryson Worrell (East Carolina) rolled into a fielder’s choice for the second out of the inning. However, he would steal second to put himself in scoring position for Seth Cannady (Florida International). Cannady wouldn’t waste the opportunity. He ripped a single to center field for an RBI single. A couple pitches later, Cannady would also steal second base. This time it was Jackson Tate who wouldn’t waste the opportunity. He hooked a line drive down the left field line for an RBI double. Finally, it was Jack Murphy with another 2-out RBI single to drive in Tate to take the lead 6-5.
After a scoreless fourth inning from both sides, the Royals would tie things up yet again in the 5th. Back-to-back one-out singles from Palenski and Barnett had runners at first and second. After a strikeout, it again looked like the Generals were going to get out of the inning unharmed with a ground ball to shortstop. However, the throw was low once again and not able to be dug out at first. The throw skipped away and allowed the Royals to tack on the tying run. Three out of the six runs that had score were unearned runs.
But the Generals did what they seemed to do all year when a team scores on them. They responded with more runs of their own. A walk to Eli Quiceno lead things off, but after two straight outs, it looked like the inning may stall. The good thing for the Generals is that they had Jackson Tate and Jack Murphy up, who went a combined 7 for 8. Tate kept the inning going with a single through the left side. Jack Murphy then doubled to left center field to drive in Quiceno. This gave the Gens the lead, but they weren’t done there. Jackson Greene drilled a single up the middle after a pitching change to put up two more runs. The Gens led 9-6 after 5 complete innings.
From there, things really calmed down. Zach Blankenship (Valdosta State) settled in and dealt a strong three innings to eventually pick up his third win of the season to lead the Generals in that category. The Generals would tack on an insurance run in the bottom of the 8th to make the score 10-6. Eli Quiceno ended up being the guy to start things again, this time with a two out single. He moved into second base on an error by the left fielder. Ethan Cady (East Tennessee State) then drilled a double to left center field to drive in Quiceno. That brought the score to its final tally of 10-6.

Pitcher’s Dual Finishes In 4th Straight Win For Waynesboro
In a game that only saw 5 hits between the two teams combined, timely hitting was the key factor in deciding a winner in the tightly contested ball game in Winchester Wednesday night.
Before General starter Nathan Schneider (St. Mary’s) settled into one of his best outings of the summer, they got to him for a run in the first. The first batter of Schneider’s night reached base via the walk. He later stole second before a bouncer up the middle scored him from second base. The Royals had jumped out to a 1-0 lead after 1 complete inning.
As mentioned, both pitchers would be stellar. The only time the Generals scored was in the 4th inning. The inning would start with an airmailed throw on a slow roller hit by Bryce Teodosio (Clemson). Andrew Orzel (Wofford) would then walk to put runners at 1st and second with one out in the inning. After a chopper to third base advanced both base runners safely, Dalton Wingo (UCF) would work a full count walk to load the bases with two outs in the inning for Bruno Teramoto (New Mexico St.). Bruno would rip a 1-1 pitch down the third base line that would rattle around in the left field corner. All 3 runners would come around to score and after the top of the 4th, the Generals would lead 3-1.
Nathan Schneider worked his way through the 5th with a 3 up, 3 down, showing. However, things got a bit messy in the bottom of the 6th inning. With the Royals only down 2, the go ahead run would be brought to the plate after Schneider hit the first batter and walked the second. He would manage to get a line drive out to left field for out number one. He would then get the next hitter to hit a line drive right at the third baseman. If caught, the Gens would’ve had a double play because the Royal runners had started to run to the next base and would have been doubled off for sure. However, when the ball was booted, the Gens had their hands full with the bases loaded and one out. But just like the night before at home vs. Harrisonburg, Head Coach John Jeanes turned to the bullpen, and his reliever worked an inning ending double play to avoid the danger. This time it was newcomer Austin Hohm (Georgia Southern).
Hohm would make pretty easy work of the Winchester Royals for the rest of the game. He would go on to pick up the 11 out save by finishing out the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th innings.
Key Performers for Winchester:
- Dylan Gentry: L (0-1), 6 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 8 K
- James Grant: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
- Jake Posey: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

- Bruno Teramoto (New Mexico St.): 1-4, 2B, 3 RBI
The Generals (17-13) have moved into 2nd place and are within a game of the South Division leading Covington Lumberjacks. Waynesboro will be back in action at home on Thursday night when they welcome the New Market Rebels into town for the first time all summer.
Royals Surge In Late Innings To Post Comeback Win Over Gens
The Generals were up 4-1 after 6 complete innings and seemed to be in control. However, the Royals were able to get to General starting pitcher Evan Gillespie (Faulkner) to tie the game, and eventually go on to win.
In the very first inning, the Royals were able to score on a fielder’s choice ground out. Gillespie did a nice job limiting them to 1 run. In the bottom of the first, Winchester got the first two hitters out to start the inning. However after Chase Cheek (Duke) was hit by a pitch, he stole second and moved up to third on an errant throw. Andrew Orzel (Wofford) was able to single through the left side to bring in Cheek. After 1 complete inning, the score was tied 1-1.
In the bottom of the second, the Gens put up 3 runs all with 2 outs. Gabe Montenegro (Southern Miss) singled to center to bring in 2 runs and to continue his hot streak. After a Royal error that moved Gabe to third, Chase Cheek singled to right field for the third run of the inning. The score was 4-1 and would stay that way until the 7th.
In the 7th inning, Winchester started with a lead off single. Gillespie was still in the game and had been mostly dominant after the rocky start. After a strikeout, the Royals added another single to bring the tying run to the plate. Gillespie was able to get another strikeout for the second out of the inning and all signs pointed to him getting out of the inning. Jordan Huntley from Winchester had been seeing the ball well, but Gillespie had him in a 1-2 count. But when Gillespie hung his changeup, Huntley deposited it over the left field fence to tie the game in the top of the 7th.
The Gens had no answers for Winchester’s bullpen in the 7th, 8th, and 9th. The Royals, on the other hand, would tack runs on in the 8th and 9th innings to provide insurance. In the 8th, the Royals scored 3 on 2 hits, 2 walks, a wild pitch and a General error. In the 9th, they tacked on one more for good measure by way of the sacrifice fly. That would bring the game to its final score of 8-4.
Key Performers for Winchester:
- Jordan Huntley: 2-4, HR, 4 RBI, SB, BB, R
- Samyr Santos: 3-5, RBI, 2 R
- Trent Sidwell: SV (2), 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Key Performers for Waynesboro:
- Gabe Montenegro (Southern Miss): 2-5, SB, 2 RBI
- Chase Cheek (Duke): 1-3, BB, 2 SB, RBI, R
- Evan Gillespie (Faulkner): ND, 6.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 5 K
The Generals will look to bounce back Saturday night at home vs. the Staunton Braves.
Generals Outlast Royals for First Win of 2018
After three straight days of cancellations, the Generals finally got back on the field tonight at Bridgeforth Field, home of the Winchester Royals.
The Royals jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after 3 innings. Graham Ashcraft (Mississippi State), the starter for the Generals, had a shaky outing. Ashcraft’s line was 2 2/3rd IP, 1 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 6 BB, 4 K. He gave way to Nick Parr (Oakland) in the bottom of the third with two outs and runners on first and third. Parr was able to escape the jam.
The General bats came alive in the top of the 4th. After getting the leadoff hitter of the inning, Tanner Thomas (Tallahassee CC), on with a single, the Generals had 3 straight singles to right field to score 2 runs. That was followed by an RBI groundout by Jordan Ammons (Mercer) to tie the score at 3.
The Royals regained the lead in the 6th when Matthew Holloway rifled an RBI single to left with the bases loaded and one out. However, Nick Parr worked his way out of another jam with back-to-back strikeouts.
In the 7th inning, the flood gates were opened in favor of the Generals. Waynesboro plated 5 runners on 4 hits, 3 walks, and a Royal error, moving the score to 8-4 after the top half. Chris Salvey homered in the bottom half to pull closer, and after 7 complete, the score was 8-5.
The Generals added an insurance run on a wild pitch in the top of the 8th, but were answered with two more runs from the Royals in the bottom to bring the score to 9-7.
Justin Beyer (Niagara County CC) came in and shut the door in the bottom of the 9th for his first save and the Generals’ first win of the season.
Key Performers:
Winchester Royals:
- Chris Salvey: 1-4, HR, 2 RBI

Waynesboro Falls at Winchester 3-2 in 12 Innings
After losing only their second home game of the season Tuesday, the Waynesboro Generals (14-7) fell Wednesday night to the Winchester Royals (13-8) 3-2 in twelve innings.
The game ended when Winchester’s Derek Gibree drove in the winning run from second with an RBI single.
Winchester snagged the win despite being outhit by the Generals ten hits to five. The Royals also only had three different players hit safely.
Both teams remained scoreless until the top of the sixth when the Generals struck first with one run in the top of the inning. Trey Stine walked in his plate appearance and, after stealing second, scored after an RBI single by left fielder Eli Putnam.
Winchester would score in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game at one. The score would remain through the ninth inning as the teams went to extra frames to determine the victor.
Each team scored a run in the eleventh inning to extend the game further before Winchester would win in the bottom of the twelfth. Kyle Salladay drove in Putnam with a sacrifice fly after he had doubled and advanced on a sacrifice bunt earlier in the inning. Winchester scored with the same sequence of events in the bottom of the inning to respond.
Campbell Scholl turned in a terrific start for the Generals as he threw six innings, allowed only one hit, walked three, and struck out five batters. Dylan Burns pitched one inning of relief and gave up only one run. Merritt Huber tossed two scoreless innings and Tanner Kirby threw one before Zach Neff was tagged with the loss after giving up two runs, including the game winning one, in just one full inning of relief.
Cameron Fritz was credited with the win for Winchester.
UP NEXT: The Generals will be back on the road as they travel to Staunton on Thursday night to take on the Braves in a contest beginning at 7:30 pm.
Walk-Off Home Run Propels Generals Over Winchester 4-3
Tracy Hadley’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth gave the Generals the victory over Winchester.
A no-doubt, walk-off solo home run by Tracy Hadley in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Waynesboro Generals (10-3) their fourth straight win and a 4-3 victory over the Winchester Royals (7-6).
Hadley was appearing in his first game for the Generals, and the home run gave him his first hit of the season.
“I finally made up my mind that I was gonna sit on the fastball, I set back, and I hit it,” Hadley said of his late-game heroics in a post-game interview.
Winchester got on the board early after three straight walks to open the game by Waynesboro starting pitcher Tyler Davis loaded the bases and a sacrifice fly made the score 1-0.
The Generals struck back in the bottom of the inning, though, with three runs to claim the lead. Starting pitcher Joey Jones for the Royals also issued the three walks to open the game and loaded the bases allowing T.J. Condon to put Waynesboro ahead with a two-RBI single. After a throwing error by the second baseman on an attempted double play turn, the Generals extended their lead to 3-1.
Winchester came back to tie the game in the top of the fifth with two runs of their own. After a leadoff walk, pitcher Merritt Huber threw the ball away at first on a bunt attempt by Kevin Suarez allowing the runner to score. Suarez advanced to third and would score in the next at bat on an RBI groundout by Trevor Jensen to tie it at 3 before Hadley would end the game in the ninth.
Davis would go four innings for the Generals and, despite early struggles, limited Winchester to just one run on two hits with three strikeouts and five walks. Huber would come on in relief to pitch four innings allowing two runs, one of which was earned, on one hit with one walk and one strikeout. Zach Neff got the win after pitching the ninth inning allowing one hit with two strikeouts.
Jon Peterson was the losing pitcher for the Royals.
Coach Matt Williams Player of the Game: Tracy Hadley (Walk-off home run in bottom of the ninth)
UP NEXT: The Generals will play their second straight home game when they face the New Market Rebels Sunday, June 19 at 7:00 pm.
Offense Struggles in Generals’ Second Loss
After managing only one run and four hits on the evening, the Waynesboro Generals dropped their second straight road game to the Winchester Royals 5-1.
The Generals got on the board quickly in the top of the first after Tanner Poole was hit by a pitch in the first at bat of the game. Poole stole second and third, and reached home on a throwing error to third base by the catcher. The lead would be brief, however, as Winchester immediately responded in the bottom of the first with two runs. A bases loaded sacrifice fly by the Royals’ Trevor Jensen followed by an RBI single by Ryan Keegan gave Winchester a lead it would never relinquish.
The offense struggled all night for Waynesboro as the team did not get their first hit until the fourth inning with a Zach Sterry double. Sterry and Nick Spangler were the only Generals to hit safely in the game with each having two hits on the evening. Winchester plated runs in the third, fourth, and eighth innings to continue to widen the Generals’ run deficit.
Waynesboro starter David Ehmen managed only three and two-thirds innings after surrendering four runs on eight hits, walking three, and striking out five. Connor Loeprich, Merritt Huber, and Patrick Solomita all came on in relief effort with Solomita giving up the other Winchester run.
Winchester starter John Barr had a strong outing after pitching five innings giving up only one run and one hit. The bullpen followed the starter’s lead as four different pitchers pitched an inning of scoreless relief.
Sterry was the leader on offense for the Generals going two for three with two doubles on the night to continue his hot start at the plate. Spangler was also two for three with two singles.
UP NEXT: After having their home opener postponed on Thursday, the Generals will play their first home game Saturday evening against the Woodstock River Bandits at 7:00 pm.
