• Manager Mike Sutton excited about promising youth joining Elkton Blue Sox (dnronline.com) — Elkton’s Blue Sox are still waiting on several high school standouts to finish regional play before their full roster is set for the Rockingham County Baseball League season. Manager Mike Sutton is leaning on veterans for now but is excited about developing the team’s young pitchers against tougher competition. After a rough, winless start, he still believes Elkton can pull together 8–10 wins, including a key home game June 12 against Broadway.
