Pitcher of the Day
The POD is Donnie Sellers, from Harrisonburg and Wake Forest! Donnie threw 6 shutout, no-hit innings in game 2
of the doubleheader against Charlottesville. He walked one, and struck out 4 to earn both the win and a game score of 75. (IN case you’re wondering a hit was given up after Donnie left the game, so no no-hitter.) It was his first start of the season (maybe not the last, after this showing), and he’s now 1-0, 0.81, with 13 K’s in 11 innings. For the Demon Deacons in the spring, Donnie went 5-5, 5.65 in 43 innings.
