Thursday 6 August: Doubleheader: Princeton 6, at Danville 2 (Game 1); at Danville 3, Princeton 2 (Game 2)

Princeton's pitching was very solid today. The P-Rays' staff made only two mistakes in 14 innings, each to Danville's star first baseman Riaan Spanjer-Furstenberg.
The first mistake (a two-run home run in game one) didn't hurt. The second mistake did -- RSF's two-out, three-run double in the 3rd inning of game two proved to be the difference in a close game.

Trevor Shull scattered six hits in his complete game victory in game one.
