    Scoreless for two and a half innings, Jefferson Forest’s Madi Shannon stood in the batters box with a full count. The payoff pitch came in and went right back out. Shannon blasted a line drive deep and over the wall of center field, breaking the scoreless tie and ultimately being the difference in the game.

  • Baseball: Grant strikes out 15 in shutout

    Snow derailed most of Liberty’s scheduled games in the first few weeks of the season but the Minutemen took to the diamond on Friday March 23 to take on Heritage. Liberty dismantled the Pioneers in a 8-0 victory.
        

    Bryce Grant took the mound for the Minutemen and threw a ridiculous 15 strikeouts in six innings pitched. Allowing just one hit of the possible 18 outs for Grant to record on the mound, all but three were strikeouts.

  • Bowyer wins at Martinsville

    Starting in the ninth spot Clint Bowyer of Stewart-Haas Racing (Ford) had some ground to make up to come out victorious at Martinsville. Slowly but surely that is what he did, moving up during each stage. Weather pushed the race back a day to Monday March 26.
        

    “This is a place where I’ve gotten so close,” Bowyer said. “I wanted to win this grandfather clock (trophy) so bad. I got so close back in 2012.”

  • Oh, yes, the Blue Wave is coming!

        Recently, the conservative columnist here was celebrating because he managed to find a poll that suggested Donald Trump had pushed his approval rating to 49 percent.
        This, he said, meant that this deeply corrupt president, who is shedding staff the way rats leave a sinking ship, had a “higher rating than Obama at a similar point.” He thinks the Blue Wave we know is coming this fall might not happen.

  • Outside agencies provide good value

        Every year, as they develop their budgets, both the Bedford County Board of Supervisors and Bedford Town Council get requests from outside agencies for money.
        This year, the process was accompanied by some fussing on Town Council. It was kind of a tempest in a teapot and nothing happened. Most councilmen agreed that refusing to provide any funding to outside agencies, at this point, would amount to an unfair surprise for these organizations. A policy would need to be developed and applied to next year’s requests.
