I can ask the players to do. We just hit it right at people.”
Friday night, the story was different for the Panthers. Travis Jenkins tossed a complete game four-hitter and struck out 12 in leading Rappahannock County to a 53 win over Stonewall Jackson.
The game, however, had a strange ending. Or did it end?
Jenkins coaxed what the Panthers thought was a game-ending double play and a 5-0 win. But the umpires ruled that Rappahannock County missed the second base bag. That gave Stonewall Jackson runners at first and second. A hit batsman, a walk and a single led to three unearned runs.
Butler, Evan Espinola, Chase Tupper, L.B. Settle, Yowell, Jason Wiese and Connor Settle all had hits for the Pantheis. Tupper also drove in a run.
In an earlier 9-8 loss to Page County, Rappahannock County got strong pitching and 10 hits. But an error sparked a five-run, sixth in helping Page County rally.
Butler, Espinola and Tupper all had two hits apiece for the Panthers. Butler drove in two runs; Espinola and Tupper one each. Settle drove in a pair of runs with a double.

landmark win
By Matt Pelkey Rappahannock News Staff Writer
Rappahannock’s girls’ soccer team should have won on Monday.
The Panthers had 35 shots on goal; Stonewall Jackson had only a handful.
Still, at the end of the game, both teams had scored once, bringing a 1-1 tie after going into overtime.
Monday’s muddy game between Rappahannock and the Stonewall Jackson Generals was the second time the two teams butted heads in the past week.
In the previous game, Rappahannock came out on top, beating the Generals 2-0 last Friday — the first time the Panthers notched a victory over Stonewall Jackson in four years.
And the Panthers won when the Generals were in full force.
On Monday Stonewall Jackson was down four starters because of injuries and a penalty. Head coach Jason Pbole said he had to pull from the J.V. level to fill out the ranks.
Sara Korb put Stonewall on the scoreboard first when she kicked a ball out of a melee that swirled feet from the Rappahannock goal.
The Panthers answered soon after when midfielder Kim Hutcheson passed up to forward Morgan Flournoy, who maneuvered past the Stonewall Jackson defense and rocketed a shot into the upper right comer of the net.
For the most part, the game was played between Rappahannock’s offense and the Generals’ goalkeeper Meghan Lutz.
The Panthers’ forwards > and midfielders dazzled Stonewall’s defense with poised passing up the wings. From there the Panthers rained shots on Lutz, who swatted them down time and again.
The Panther offense has steadily improved ball control and passing over the season, but head coach Dave Gillis said the girls might have concentrated on possession too much on Monday.
“Maybe we handled the ball a little too much today,” he said after the game.
Coach Gillis however remained optimistic about the team’s progress.
“It’s coming,” he said. “The right stuff is coming together.”
