J. Foster made a big impact no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 13 over seven innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Gordonsville is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 4-7 otherwise. Foster was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Bobby Cripps, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Gordonsville's success: when he posts at least three RBI the team is undefeated (and 5-7 when he doesn't). Brodie Sykes was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.
Gordonsville lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since the start of last season.
