Four games played… a shutout, a mercy rule… some other stuff.
Results

- Winchester 12, Front Royal 2 (7 Innings): The score was a rather unassuming 4-2 until Winchester went bonkers in the bottom of the seventh, scoring eight runs to “walk it off.” The last run scored on a Chase Nixon bases-loaded walk. Winchester is 8-9; Front Royal falls to 6-9.
