PREP ROUNDUP: Riverheads baseball still alive

The Riverheads baseball team kept its shot at the Shenandoah District title alive on Monday, taking advantage of a costly Stonewall Jackson error in the fourth inning to pick up a 5-1 win.

With the score tied 1-1 and the bases loaded with one out, Stonewall tried to turn two on an Adam Ritter ground ball, but the throw sailed wide, allowing three runs to score.

The Gladiators’ Miles Wade pitched seven innings and struck out 10 while walking three.

Riverheads (12-4, 6-3 Shenandoah) is in a four-way tie for first in the Shenandoah District with Wilson, Luray and Buffalo Gap. The Gladiators will take on the Bison today. The winner is guaranteed at least part of the title.
