Two-year Waynesboro General Ryan Adams (Elon) suffered a broken wrist on Saturday while playing first base in the Southern Conference Baseball Tournament, according to the Times News in Burlington, N.C.

Waynesboro Generals co-owners Jerry Carter and John Leonard and General Manager Chris Graham held a town-hall style meeting Tuesday night at the Waynesboro Public Library to take questions and ideas from local fans, businesses and staff.

The only reason Jerry Carter is buying a Valley League baseball team is, to put it simply, because of you, Waynesboro.

The Waynesboro Generals will have a new owner perched in the press box this season.

The All-Star break didn’t douse Waynesboro’s flame as it continued to burn its No 1 foe in the Valley League Southern Division.

Both teams hit, both team pitched and both teams tied 5-5 in the 2008 Valley Baseball League All-Star game held in Covington on Sunday night.
Waynesboro’s Adam Liberatore started the game on the mound working out of a bases-loaded jam, not allowing a run. The South Division scored a run in the bottom of the first to help out Liberatore.

Launching into the second chapter of the season, several Waynesboro players will kick it off at the Valley League Baseball All-Star game.

Waynesboro started its defense of the Valley League championship on the right foot, putting up a 13-run first inning against an undermanned Harrisonburg squad in the Generals’ season-opener. Waynesboro scored three more runs in the game to earn a 16-4 opening night win at Kate Collins Field.
After the Generals sat the Turks down in order in the top of the first, Waynesboro leadoff man Ryan Danbury hit a line-drive single on the second pitch to put Waynesboro on the bases for the first time of the season.
