BASEBALL L-Sox return to battered home
The Lynchburg Red Sox will return Friday to their home field, City Stadium, which sustained damage estimated at more than $10,000 during severe thunderstorms June 4.

Repair work is going on at City Stadium, but the field will be in playing shape barring inclement weather, Red Sox officials said Wednesday.
