Monday 27 July: Princeton 3, at Bluefield 0

Princeton gets its second straight shutout. Wilking Rodriguez was superb as the starting pitcher, and Kirby Yates was solid in relief.
Cody Rogers provided the big blow on offense -- a two-run home run to cap off the P-Rays' three-run rally in the top of the 3rd.
The win keeps Princeton 2 1/2 games behind Danville for first place in the Appy League East.
