At least one game got played this afternon before the rain got heavy, not sure yet about the rest of the slate.
James River got a first-inning grand slam from Chris Briere and a fifth-inning, 3-run homer from Tyler Gruhl to build an 8-1 lead at Monacan, then hold on through a late Chiefs spurt fueled by a two-out error and a James Lawrence homer and win, 8-5. Austin Stadler pitched a complete game, only 1 earned run, 8 hits and 9 K's. With the win, James River maintains a 2-game lead over second place Midlothian and thus, will hold onto the lead no matter what the outcome of Tuesday's showdown with the Trojans.
Midlothian was idle. Clover Hill and L.C. Bird were scheduled vs. Huguenot and Wythe and so surely won if those were played. No info yet on the Manchester at Cosby matchup.
