two outs in the bottom of the eighth and singled after the Scots
intentionally walked senior third baseman Neil
Zimmerman (Vinton, VA./William Byrd).
-
- The game was tied 1-1 after the scheduled seven
innings, and Maryville plated another run in the top of the eighth
inning to go up 2-1. Senior outfielder Wes
Martin (Woolwine, Va./Patrick County) evened the score with a
lead-off homer in the bottom half of the frame. Martin went
2-4 this afternoon. The second game was cancelled due to
rain.

intentionally walked Zimmerman, brining Sain to the plate.
In Sain's ninth plate appearance this season, he blasted a single
to score junior catcher Kevin
Griffin (Roanoke, Va./Cave Spring).
Junior Carlos
Sanchez (Stanleytown, Va./Bassett) pitched all eight innings
for Ferrum, allowing just one hit and two runs (both unearned),
and striking out four as he raised his record to 5-0 this
