Fredericksburg vs. Lynchburg – GAME TWO
Ironically, because there was a doubleheader last night, Fredericksburg and Lynchburg were able to get one in before the rains came when they would have been playing if it had been just a single game. They’ll try again tonight for two.

FCL Nats – OFF DAY
It looks like the schedule this year is Mon-Tue, Wed off, Thu-Sat, Sun. off. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball
