Staunton at Waynesboro by GeneralsSignGuyMike

Big night for Buckner and B-Size (Generals win 10-7)
Written by Michael Kerr

The Waynesboro Generals won their 2nd straight game against The Staunton Braves here at Kate Collins Field 10-7, and now have won 3 in a row against their rival. Grant Buckner had a big night going 4-5, a double and a RBI. Brandon Sizemore once again had a hot night going 3-5, 3 singles, 3 stolen bases and had 2 RBI's. Ryan Adams and Evan Webb both had 2 RBI's, and Gabriel Saade had 3 runs along with Derek Hamblen who had 2 runs.

Waynesboro had a 8-0 lead up until the 5th when the Braves got it within 3 runs to make it a 8-5 game and got no closer than 3 runs. Andy Altemus got the win going 5 1/3 innings, gave up 4 runs on 5 hits, with 4 K's and 4 walks. Altemus is now (7-1) and has to be in the mix for pitcher of the year along with Adam Liberatore for Waynesboro. At a crucial time in the 8th inning when Chris Enourato who came in relief for Altemus, "Pistol" Pete Vandenbout did walk one batter but got the next 3 Braves out on strikeouts. Daniel Wiltz pitched the 9th only going 1/3 of a inning and Kaleb Fleck finished the last 2/3 of the game. Fleck got the save for the Generals. Gerald Sokolis for the Staunton Braves got the loss going 3 2/3 innings, giving up 8 runs on 9 hits, striking out 2 and walked two. Sokolis is now (4-4)

Going now into the final weekend before the playoffs start, The Waynesboro Generals (29-13) will be off tomorrow and rest up before another game this time in Staunton (23-19). The Braves will be at Covington (22-20). The match-up with the Braves and Lumberjacks looks to be a huge battle for 5th place going into the playoffs. The Generals are still alive for the #1 seed and will be keeping a close eye on the Luray Wranglers (29-11) versus Fauquier Gators (25-15) doubleheader match-up tomorrow.

Waynesboro for the regular season did finish with the best home record in the league going (18-4). They are also (19-0) when score 6 or more runs and (4-0) in extra inning games. Great stats going into the playoffs come next week. If the Generals also win the final two regular season games at Staunton and Luray they will finish with a better record this year that last, with last year record being (30-13-1)

My last regular season blog will come tomorrow for you die-hard General fans and I will have a recap of Game 1 of the playoffs when the day comes!
GO GENERALS!

Central High School - Coach Jerry Walters & The Falcons Family Tree- Pics 1ST

After spending a couple of hours with Mr. John Galle of the Shenandoah Valley Herald in Woodstock I made the two mile drive over to Central High School. The Lady Falcons were playing Broadway and one thing you can always count on at Central is the chance to visit with some folks that will make you feel right at home. Tonight was no different, except the opportunity to trade stories with none other than Valley Coaching Legend Jerry Walters. On our site Jerry is also known as Jeff''s Dad but for tonight we will call him Coach. Coach spent 34 years working the sidelines at Central until his retirement following the 2004-2005 campaign. While I have known Coach for a few years, it wasn't until Thursday night that I was able to spend what I would call one on one plus time. See, Coach is a magnet to folks in the gym and each one of them brings another couple of stories to the forefront. I can honestly say that I felt privileged to get to spend the evening with such a quality pe
