In a sort of backwards result from earlier this summer, Strasburg hosted a game last night while all the other games were cancelled. Is the Valley getting close to a record with all the rainfall? Someone needs to fill me in.

Score

Front Royal 2, Strasburg 0

Hitter of the Day

Shell McCain Front Royal 2014Our HOD is Shell McCain, from Front Royal, who is listed as attending Tennessee Wesleyan. He may have attended UNC, too, but I’m having trouble nailing things down. Another request for help, I guess. Anyway, Shell went 2-4 last night, with a run, RBI, and home run. He’s been having a great summer; he’s hitting 356/427/515 in 101 at-bats, with 22 runs, 24 RBIs, 7 doubles, 3 home runs, 14 stolen bases, and a 14/20 BB/K ratio.

Nick Sinay, Front Royal: 1-3, run, BB, stolen base

Hunter Newman, Front Royal: 1-4, RBI (drove in one of the Card’s 2 runs)
