Hitter of the Day
In the most impressive display of the season so far, Luray's Daniel Bowman (a Turner Ashby grad) smashed the Covington Lumberjacks just about by himself. The designated hitter went 5-5, with 4 runs, 4 RBI, and 3 home runs. Oh- he also added a stolen base. Daniel is now hitting 291/354/573 on the year in 103 at-bats.
