Grafton Extends Winning Streak with Win over Warhill
An eight-run fourth inning proved to be the difference as Grafton ran away from Warhill to win 9-1 at home Thursday.
It was a 1-1 game heading into the fourth before the Clippers (4-1, 4-1 BRD) erupted for eight runs in the bottom of the frame to break things open. Adam Panholzer, one of six different Grafton players to drive in a run, went 2-2 at the plate with a run scored and one RBI.
Evan Sperling was tough to solve on the mound yielding only one hit to Warhill’s Luke Bruce. He added eight strikeouts over seven innings to earn the complete game victory as Grafton won its third game in a row.

Walsingham Hangs on to Beat Rival HRA
Walsingham jumped out to an early lead before having to hold off a late-inning rally from Hampton Roads Academy to win its first Tidewater Conference game of the season, 6-5 over the host Navigators.
Walsingham scored six runs in the first inning and held a 6-0 lead all the way until the bottom of the fifth inning with HRA rallied for five runs to make it a one-run game.
In the bottom of the sixth, Trojans pitcher Jack Keating induced a clutch double-play ball with one out and the bases loaded to get out of the inning unscathed.
