Sean Hughes, Evan Lowery star at Comonwealth Games



By John Harvey

SALEM – Jamestown’s Sean Hughes and Evan Lowery were key contributors for the East Region all-stars during Friday’s 7-0 victory over the Central Region all-stars at the 2014 Subway Commonwealth Games held at Kiwanis Field.

Hughes scattered two hits and struck out a game-high 11 in six shutout innings of work to earn the tournament victory. Offensively, Lowery had three hits, including a triple, and drove in three runs during the opening day of the tournament.

The team is coached by York High baseball skipper Rusty Ingram and features several players from York County.  Grafton’s Jordan Sprouse and York High’s Trey Kurtyka and Eric Harp are also members of this tournament squad that includes the top high school players in Virginia, age 15-17.

The East all-stars will complete round-robin play Saturday with games against the North (noon) and South (2:30 p.m.) squads. The tournament will wrap-up on Sunday with a pair of medal round games.
