Herndon Braves Take On Alexandria Aces Monday

The Herndon Braves have slid to a 2-6 start following Friday night’s 9-3 loss to the Rockville Express.

The Express started off the game with a bang with Ryan Donkin, the leadoff hitter, getting the scoring started by hitting a homer in the top of the 1st. That was the first of 6 runs scored in the 1st by the Express. The Express went on to score a run in the second, third and fifth to extend the lead to 9-0.

Fittry, the starting pitcher for the Braves was yanked after one lowly inning pitched. The Braves eventually made it on the scoreboard with two runs in the eighth with Vasquez and Walker getting RBIs.

The bright spot in this loss for the Braves was that their pitching in the later innings was good; Wood and Rogowski each came out of the bullpen and allowed no runs scored in the final four innings.

The Braves next home game is at 7 p.m. Monday at Alan McCullock Field at Herndon High School, 700 Bennett St. They will be facing the Alexandria Aces.
