Hitter of the Day
Like yesterday, our choice for hitter of the day was rather easy- it’s Strasburg’s Anthony Payne, from West Virginia State! (He’s listed as Anthony with the Valley League, but as Tyler on WV State’s website. And Teddy other places?) Mr. Payne had a terrific game last night, going 4-5, with a run, 2 RBIs, and a home run. On the season so far, he’s hitting an excellent 314/351/461 in 102 at-bats for the Express.

Pitcher of the Day
Our pitcher of the day was just two outs from a complete game shutout against the Winchester Royals. Alas, it didn’t work out that
way, but he still had the best start of the night. Our POD is Charles Town’s Jack Charleston!

For the summer so far, Jack is 2-1, 2.94 in 18 1/3 innings, with 8 hits, 5 walks, and 13 strikeouts.
