Greetings – Apologies for the break in news & coverage but now it is time to play catch up.
Mother Nature forced the Generals to play a split double header on the final day of the season and the Home Town Nine made the most of it by sweeping the day. Waynesboro opened the day with a 2:30 P.M. start and belted Covington around the Fish. When the scoreboard finally slowed down the Generals had plated 15 runs
