JV Generals Narrowly Lose to Yorktown Before Final Two Games

The JV Yorktown Patriots scored runs in each of the first three innings, built a 5-0 lead, and then hung on for a razor close 6-5 win over the Washington-Lee Generals at Greenbriar Park on Wednesday night.

Collin Stuart's first inning solo home run was followed by Matt Rosenberg's two-run shot in the third. Washington-Lee clawed back in the fourth inning when Jeff Kruger doubled home Will Burgess and James Mellin knocked in Kruger for a 5-2 score.

In the sixth inning, Paul Landini, Daniel Bowler and T.R. Sheehy all singled to load the bases and scored on Ben Buchholz's walk and Cameron Anderson's grounder into right field for a 5-5 tie.

Yorktown's Parker Denny ignited the decisive seventh inning Patriot rally with a leadoff single, and Matt Rosenberg scored the winning run on a bases-loaded, two-out infield single.

The final two Generals games of the season are both home at Quincy Park — Friday versus Stuart and Tuesday versus Hayfield.
