Technicality Defeats Plumly Lumber in State Tourney
In the Virginia Class A Tournament at Norfolk Plumly Lumber led 1-0 before Donald’s illegal delivery calls sparked a Lynchburg Iron and Metal Co. rally. The game ended 10-4 as Donald tried to pitch and field alternately, while Forquer relieved in the second and Plumly failed to score after the first inning. Armel started Plumly’s scoring with a first inning run, but the innings that followed featured a string of walks, illegal pitches, and mismatched pitching.
