PREPS GLENVAR WINS REGION C BASEBALL TITLE

Jason Anderson was the winning pitcher, running his record to 9-1. He went the final three innings, struck out six and did not allow a hit. The Highlanders (14-4-1) play host to Honaker later this week in a first-round Group A state tournament game while Castlewood travels to Powell Valley on Friday in another first-round contest.

Glenvar trailed 7-4 entering the bottom of the fourth inning, but Eric East's two-run homer keyed a three-run rally that tied the score.

David Henderson had two hits and drove in three runs, Anderson and Robinson had two hits each, and Joey Hutton and Tim Carroll contributed doubles for Glenvar. Hutton scored the winning run.

Starter Trevor Willis went three innings, giving up three runs. Jacob Weddle pitched the fourth inning and surrendered a grand slam to Bo Phillips before Anderson came on and shut down Castlewood the rest of the way. Castlewood 0214000-764 Glenvar 202301x-8104

Harrington, Smith (3), Wagner and Street; Willis, Weddle (4), Anderson (5) and Hutton. W - Anderson (9-1). L - Smith (N/A). HR - Ruff (C), 3rd, none on; East (G), 4th, one on; Philips (C), 4th, three on.

\ REGION III: Eric Thomas delivered a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Amherst the Region III baseball championship with a 2-1 victory over visiting Jefferson Forest.

Amherst (19-4) also scored on a passed ball in the sixth inning. Jefferson Forest (19-5) got its lone run on a home run by Teddy Wilson in the first inning.

Both teams had outstanding pitching. Amherst got only two hits and the Cavaliers were limited to Wilson's homer, a double by Ryan Gilleland and Matt White's single. Jefferson Forest had the bases loaded with two outs in the seventh inning but couldn't score.

Jefferson Forest travels to Region IV champion Richlands on Thursday for the first round of the Group AA state tournament. Virginia High, the Region IV runner-up, will play at Amherst, also on Thursday. Jefferson Forest 1000000-132 Amherst 0000011-220

\ SOFTBALL: Rustburg's Katie Phillips was at it again on Monday, pitching a no-hitter as the Red Devils beat Salem 5-0 for the Region III softball title in Dry Fork.

Phillips allowed only two runners, both on errors, while striking out 11 Spartans. In two games against the two best Blue Ridge District teams - Lord Botetourt and Salem - Phillips struck out 26 and gave up no hits or walks.

Both teams are in state tournament play later this week against Region IV teams. Salem (19-4) will play on the road, and Rustburg (22-1) will be at home. If they both win, they will have a rematch in Salem next week in the Group AA state semifinals. Salem 0000000-005 Rustburg 112000x-552
