Hitter of the Day

The hitter of the day is pretty clearly Charlottesville’s Adam Cecere, who pummeled Covington by going 4-5, with three runs scored, a double, two home runs, and three RBIs. The 6-foot-5 freshman from Wake Forest is now 10-24 on the season, with a slashline of .417/.462/.792. He’s obviously added some pop to the Charlottesville lineup!
