On a special night in which Dan River's baseball field was officially named after longtime coach Sammy McCormick the Wildcats played a clean defensive game, and got a stellar performance on the mound from Caleb Call to take down Smith Mountain Lake, 3-0.
Our thoughts & prayers are with the White family during this difficult time.
Tyler was the epitome of a Dirtbag, always competing with passion & grit.
He was loved by many including his teammates & coaches, he will be missed.
2 more Videos from Friday showing defense on the mound. Video #1 fielding a swinging bunt and getting the lead runner out at 3rd base. Video #2 is a pickoff at 1st base to end the inning. Got the division win. ERA for the season is sitting at: 2.00. @_thedirtbags@thecobyingle
