HAMPTON, VA. - Senior Joe Tugwell threw four shutout innings
allowing three hits and striking out five as the Apprentice School

it at 2 as junior J.D. Drewry singled in sophomore Kenny Eanes who
had earlier doubled.
The Builders took the lead for good in the sixth scoring a run

for a 3-2 advantage. Icing on the cake came in the seventh as
