There was plenty on the agenda for Staunton City Council Thursday night, but residents made sure to let their dissatisfaction with the diversity commission known.
Logan McNeely and Clay Lockett each drove in two runs and reliever Ben Sieracki allowed no runs in four innings as the host Harrisonburg Turks beat the Staunton Braves 8-4 at Veterans Memorial Park on Thursday in the first of two games.
McNeely had two hits in his first two at-bats and drove in two runs in the third as Harrisonburg scored five runs to take a lead of 5-2. Lockett drove in two runs with a single in the fifth to give the Turks a lead of 8-4.
The starting lineup for the Turks in the first game was second baseman Carlos Marte (Elon, .277 average through Wednesday); left fielder Peyton Crispin (Oklahoma City, .207); catcher McNeely (Wingate, .286); right fielder Conor Hartigan (Virginia Tech, .254); first baseman Jordan Sweeney (Rutgers, .292); shortstop Bryce Safferwich (JMU, .189); center fielder Lockett (Southern Nazarene, .208); third baseman Frederic Walter (Oklahoma City, .205); DH Justin Wachs (Nova Southeastern, .143); and pitcher Will Carter.
