Tonight’s Game

Only one game on tap:

Waynesboro at Charlottesville 5 PM- And I believe there are fireworks after this one, too.

Also keep in mind that All-Star selections will be made tomorrow mid-day, so watch for an announcement either later Monday or early Tuesday! (All-Star game is in Harrisonburg in one week on July 11)

** Addition** Charlottesville’s Dillon Janac also threw five shutout innings last night in game 2 against Purcellville.
