ARLINGTON
– “Chicks dig the long ball” was a popular advertising campaign by Major League
Baseball in 2008.

tournament elimination game held Barcroft Park in Arlington
Hunter
Ammons, Travoz Harrold and Bobby Dudeck each belted three-run home runs as
Williamsburg erased a 2-1 deficit to keep their tournament title hopes alive.
Dudeck
and Harrold delivered the long ball during a 6-run fourth inning. Ammons capped
the victory with a walk-off three-run blast in the fifth to invoke the 10-run
mercy rule.

and a run scored. Dudeck was 1-for-3 with 2 runs and 3 RBI. Lincoln Lubsen went
