Charlotte County Defeats Blacksburg in State Semi-Final
Charlotte County rallied for 4 runs in the 5th inning of a rain
suspended game to beat Blacksburg 5-1. Blacksburg clearly had the
momentum Tuesday night but rain forced the postponement of the game.
Blacksburg's starting pitcher, Adam Linkous, threw 3 near perfect
innings on Tuesday and was in complete control, but was unable to
regain the same velocity and control after the forced layoff.
With Blacksburg's performance in the 2008 AAA State Tournament, the
franchise is currently the second winningest franchise in Virginia
Dixie Youth history. Halifax is first with 15 wins, with both Madison
Heights and Blacksburg tied with 11. Considering Blacksburg's very
short tenure in DYB of just eight years, this is quite an impressive
accomplishment.
Congratulations to the Blacksburg players for the fine showing in the
State Tournament! They have made the Town of Blacksburg very proud.
