SOL results provide good news for district

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Hanover County Public Schools officials have anxiously awaited the state’s release of the latest Standards of Learning (SOL) results since the exams were finished earlier this year.

Preliminary results were released shortly before the Hanover County School Board met last week, and initial indications are positive.

The tease left interim superintendent Rick Richardson “conservatively pleased and excited.”

Dr. Michael Gill, assistant superintendent for instruction, presented a generalized outline of the figures, noting that more detailed accreditation information will follow later in the year.

Gill said he was optimistic about the numbers, but warned

the SOL scores are only one indicator of academic achievement. Graduation and dropout numbers also will follow when final numbers are announced.

DR. MICHAEL GILL “They are certainly one important tool to report achievement,” Gill said.

“Hanover County Public Schools are up in every catego-

Prsrt. Standard U.S. POSTAGE PAID Mechanicsville, VA Permit No.141

ry in terms of overall achievement. Every Hanover school exceeded the state benchmark of 70 percent in math, science and history and 75 percent in reading and English.”

Scores also were up for special education students and pass rates for minorities exceeded the state level.

“This is reason for celebration, but we recognize that education will always seek improvement and that continues to be our mission,” Gill said. “We will be coming back with more than just highlights in September.”

Ashland District representative Hank Lowry questioned Gill regarding a student who had passed all of his courses but was declined a diploma due to a one-point deficiency in his SOL scores.

The Local Pick:

First Shiloh pastor takes part in clergy renewal Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ECHANICSVILLE — First Shiloh Baptist Church, located at 8150 Walnut Grove Road in Mechanicsville, recently received a grant in the amount of $49,894.00 from the Lilly Endowment Inc. to enable its pastor, Dr. R. Neal Siler, to participate in the 2014 National Clergy Renewal Program.

First Shiloh is one of 140 congregations across the country and one of 11 in Virginia selected for this competitive award.

Established by the Endowment in 2000, the program’s grants have allowed more than 1,900 Christian congregations to support their pastors with the gift of extended time way from their ministerial duties and responsibilities.

Using the theme, From Reflection to Resolution: Engaging with God, Self and Others, the grant provided a three-month sabbatical for Dr. Siler and a number of congregation renewal activities, including a retreat for

M

church leaders, a financial workshop and a 12-week noon and evening Bible study series.

Dr. Siler’s sabbatical began in May 2015 and included three phases of rest, recre-

DR. R. NEAL SILER ation and renewal.

In phase 1 (May), he traveled to the southwestern part of the United States and attended the Richard Rohr Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and an exclusive spa in Sedona, Arizona.

Phase 2 (June) of his sabbatical was spent in Europe at Taize, an ecumenical retreat center in Burgundy France, an Italian Cooking School in

Tuscany, Italy, and sight-seeing in Germany, Switzerland and England.

Finally, Phase 3 (July and August) included attendance at the Carmelite Institute at the University of St. Mary’s of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois, and a family vacation in Chicago where he and his family enjoyed Taste of Chicago, Navy Pier, Michigan Avenue and many other Chicago sights.

Dr. Siler has served as the senior pastor of First Shiloh for 28 years.

In addition to his work at First Shiloh, he serves as president and founder of The Healing Place Center for Counseling and Spiritual Formation. He holds a Doctorate of Ministry in Formational Counseling from the Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio, where he also serves as an adjunct professor.

He recently was named as one of the 2015 outstanding religious educators in Greater Richmond by faithinrichmond.com.

Dr. Siler and his wife, Dr. Sharon E. Siler, live in Mechanicsville.

Richmond man pleads guilty, gets life in prison for killing Hopewell cab driver

By Bill McKelway Richmond Times-Dispatch HANOVER — The murder of 26-year-old James Wells, a high school football star who turned to driving a cab to support his family, left him a burned, unrecognizable corpse inside his minivan cab.

On Tuesday, Aug. 11, Dyshawn Simpson, a Richmond resident who also was a standout high school football player, entered a surprise guilty plea to murder in Hanover Circuit Court.

Simpson, 21, who apologized to the victim’s family and

his mother and grandmother, will serve life in prison as part of a plea agreement that involved dropping multiple other charges but also the life sentence.

“He wants to take responsibility,” said Marcella SimpsonDabney, Simpson’s mother.

“He loves his son and wants to be able to see him.”

Wells had driven Simpson and co-defendant Alisa N. Dejesus from Hopewell to the Mechanicsville area on Aug. 9, 2014, when events took a horrible turn. After being repeatedly stabbed, Wells, still alive, was set on fire with a road

flare. The cab was located near Richmond Battlefield Park close to Gaines Mill a short distance from Mechanicsville.

Simpson and Dejesus, then 19, were arrested in March after a broad campaign by the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office to locate suspects in the case.

Investigators learned that the two had walked to a Mechanicsville restaurant and were bought breakfast by a couple who mistook them for being homeless and in need of help.

Wells was a star quarterback for the Hopewell High

School football team who graduated in 2003.

Simpson played for Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond, telling detectives that he had hoped to play college football and was heavily recruited.

Dejesus, who was seven months pregnant when the murder took place and has delivered Simpson’s child, is scheduled to go to trial in December.

are given the opportunity to take an expedited retake, one factor in the improving scores for the county.

“We advocated for that expedited retake,” board chair Bob Hundley, Chickahominy District, said.

The acting superintendent said leadership at the state level also is open to discussion regarding accountability reform.

Even with the board’s adopted policy of awarding local credits in special situations, Gill said state standards for graduation still supersede local requirements.

The board also approved a three-year improvement program for Patrick Henry High School, a state-mandated requirement for all schools tagged with less than full accreditation.

Although the school board is taking final action on that corrective plan, Gill told members last month that the efforts

Peace is a Republican member of the House of Delegates representing the 97th District, which includes part of Hanover and King William counties and all of New Kent County.

“I think this is a thorough and comprehensive plan with parts that can be replicated throughout the system,” Gill added.

The latest SOL scores, released earlier this week, indicate PHHS students exceeded state-mandated levels in all four core areas.

Under current state provisions, the school must remain on academic probation with an improvement plan in place even if accreditation scores are obtained during that period.

Richardson said that’s also a subject of discussion at the

ing and other programs are all aimed at raising scores and removing the school from its provisional accreditation status.

The board also approved a policy that could have farreaching affects for parents who provide food for their child’s classmates. In the past, a parent could bake a batch of cupcakes and bring it in for an entire class to sample.

On the recommendation of the Student Health Advisory Committee and a number of elementary school principals, Gill said the proposed policy

would prohibit any outside food from being brought in for mass consumption by students.

He said the policy is already in effect for several Hanover campuses, and all elementary principals approved the new measure.

“That’s where we feel most of the impact will be,” Gill said.

Hundley said the new policy might receive some criticism and warned fellow board members “you may receive some phone calls on this one.”

The board approved the no outside food in the classroom policy unanimously.

Mark Pasier, assistant superintendent for human resources, told board members that teachers will be required to work on Sept. 23, the date for time trials in the UCI Cycling Championship.

OPINION | The Local Views

The future ain’t what it used to be

From the editor

It’s that time again: Get ready to return to class And where did the summer go? That seems to be a common theme every year — even when you aren’t directly involved in the school system.

But, here we are looking at the middle of August and classes are about to get underway at Hanover County Public Schools and Randolph-Macon College. Chances are, children who are being home schooled, as well as those attending private and church schools, are already in session for the 2015-2016 term.

Thinking back, there was a bit of apprehension and excitement as we prepared for a new school year. Of course, as we got older, the anticipation abated and we quickly got back into the routine.

Do teachers still assign the essay, “What I Did on My Summer Vacation?”

There was a time when I thought “If I hear Myrtle Beach one more time, I’m going to scream.” Yes, that was the destination of choice for most of the folks in my hometown.

A great bonus of living in this area is the proximity to so many exciting adventures (I believe in more than just sticking to the word vacation).

We have incredible historical opportunities to explore (and you can’t visit Jamestown too many times), an amusement park literally in our back yard (thank you, Kings Dominion) and we aren’t that far from the beach. If you want ocean, then you can head toward the Atlantic or if it’s the river life, then you have that advantage too. I just love to hear it pronounced “rivah” — pretty cool.

Having moved around a few times in this decades-long career, this has become a grounding of sorts. Some would say I’ve finally found my roots.

Regardless of how you define it, we’re fortunate for all the offerings nearby and surrounding us. I hope parents packed up the kids and enjoyed some of the wonders of Virginia during the summer break.

You’re never too old to learn and — to be quite honest — I’ve reached that age where you start to consider your bucket list. I’ve been blessed to have experienced so much of our state, but Mount Vernon is on the to-do list. And I encourage you to hold me to it. Now resume that back to school shopping — and make sure you make those purchases locally.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Like many other things in life, birthdays are not as much fun as they used to be. But, turning 65 is still a momentous milestone in anyone’s life, and I am compelled to offer some observations on reaching what used to be the official retirement age in America.

Let me begin by saying if I could turn back the hands of time, I would.

I have real difficulty finding merit in those who revel in the joys of old age.

Few who have actually been there actually agree, and it’s a fact of life that everything slows down when our bodies reach a certain age.

Of course, I don’t speak for all seniors, but I do represent a new breed of retirement age Americans who have no intention of bowing out or relinquishing their pursuit of

happiness regardless of age or limitations.

Let’s face it: Turning 65 does not have the same connotation it once enjoyed, and the majority of Americans reaching that milestone are still active, many of them pursuing careers or raising families.

More and more seniors are continuing to work, thrive and enjoy life not restricted by tried and untrue perceptions of life’s later years.

It confirms a tired and overused truism that Yogi Berra coined years ago — “the future ain’t what it used to be.”

I wasn’t alone when I celebrated my 65th earlier this month. More than 10,000 baby boomers, those of us born between 1946 and 1964, turn 65 daily in America.

Many of them view retirement as an opportunity to begin Act II of

their lives. Many volunteer time to important services and projects, while others pursue second careers or begin businesses.

For seniors, the demographics are encouraging. In 1980, less than 15 percent of America’s workforce was comprised of workers 55 and over.

Today, about a fifth of all American workers are seniors.

And for many of those workers, including me, the momentous birthday only reminds there are tons of things left to achieve. It’s the chance to continue a lifetime of learning and an opportunity to still grow in our professions.

Fortunately, I chose a profession where the heaviest thing I lift is a camera. It’s also a career that has taught me the best stories are still sitting out there, untold, and the best photos are see FUTURE, pg. 8

Constituent favors new EPA regulations (Editor’s note: The following was submitted as “An Open Letter to Delegate [Buddy] Fowler.”)

Del. Fowler, I just received your current constituent newsletter. I was recently in Norfolk, one of the areas in the country most vulnerable to flooding from climate change.

Indeed, “flooding” is an understatement.

Norfolk is facing at least a one-foot rise in sea levels by the end of this century, a rise that is nearly impossible to protect against, destroying the city and surrounding area.

Sea levels will likely rise beyond this one-foot mark, unless we take drastic action to stop and reverse climate change.

Norfolk and many other areas in coastal Virginia will be under water in just a few generations, if climate change continues unabated.

Indeed, low lying areas, like much of Richmond, also will be under water in a few hundred years.

When you write about your opposition to new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, you cite the economic costs of these regulations. This is short-

sighted: What will be the economic impact of losing coastal Virginia, along with other sections of the interior of the state?

I am in favor of the new EPA clean air regulations and you should be too.

crafted “Perceptions� without question. I believe these Hanover students are being taken advantage of. This is a shame.

The members of the Hanover Students for Freedom of Information and Learning have received the answer they requested. The answer is read in the policy.

As written in your paper, it is the job of the school administration to decide what is taught. It is the job of the teachers to teach this. It is the job of the students to learn this.

Our education system is failing because of the liberal policy implemented over the past 50 years has not worked.

Simply put, liberal policy has not worked. No matter how much money is thrown at a bad idea it will not work.

Teachers have been successfully teaching students for thousands of years.

The only education system in the world that is failing is here in the U.S. As far as I can tell, all of the successful systems use traditional methods. They work.

The liberal methods are failing.

Change is in order. Now is a good time to start.

only solution to every issue is to spend more money.

Our education system has problems but lack of money is not one of them. The Hanover County Public Schools budget is more than enough for all legitimate needs.

When the author quotes a philosopher, I suggest going back further than David Brooks. Back before the birth of Christ when Plato was teaching Aristotle, the teacher taught and the student learned.

Why did we stop doing this?

I believe Aristotle had the answer when he said, “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.�

We have accepted too many liberal thoughts and ideas. It is time to reject them.

The new philosophy as articulated by one of your writers several weeks ago seems to be “Perception is Reality.�

I believe a member of the Hanover Students for Freedom of Information and Learning believes that one.

It is very clear that anyone who believes “Perception is Reality� does not have the experience, maturity and judgment to do critical thinking.

Liberals can create the most beautiful “Perceptions� anyone has ever heard. They sound too good to be true. It is very easy to take advantage of anyone who believes these expertly

Doggie Days

Submitted photo

The Hanover Women’s Golf Association 9 Hole League recently sponsored its Sixth Annual Doggie Days Tournament to benefit the Hanover Humane Society. The event featured 28 players playing in a 9-hole scramble. To emphasize the pet theme, each hole featured pictures of players’ pets: dogs, cats and birds. The Air Force Eagle even sponsored one hole in hopes that someone would score an eagle.

Tournament chair Suzanne Harman worked with John Ellis, golf pro at Hanover Country Club, to promote and produce the event. Proceeds yielded $1,240 in donations for the Hanover Humane Society. Fin & Feather in Ashland sponsored a hole and provided two prizes. Thanks also were extended to the new Sugar Fix Bakery in Ashland for donating a gift certificate and to James River Cellars Winery for donating wine for prizes. The winning team of Lanny Turnage, Jennifer McAdoo and Carole Johnson received gift certificates from Homemades by Suzanne. The Hanover Humane Society is a private 501(c)3 non-profit. All funding for the organization is derived from private fundraising and development initiatives. The Hanover Humane Society does not receive any public funding. Hanover Humane’s mission is to support animal welfare through its adoption, education and prevention efforts. Shown are, from left, Jeanine Ellis, president, HWGA 9 Hole Golfers, and John Ellis, Hanover Country Club’s golf pro.

Lighted bikes display target retailers’ rooftops

By Meredith Rigsby mrigsby@mechlocal.com

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

The lights of the Town of Ashland spotlight a bicycle atop Ashland Coffee and Tea in the area of the railroad crossing in the downtown.

ASHLAND — Inspired by the bike gardens that have cropped up around the Town of Ashland, Dan Bartges, a member of the Ashland Main Street Association, came up with the idea of placing old bicycles covered in string lights on the roofs of some of Ashland’s buildings that provide the most visibility.

“I was just trying to think of, I guess two things, how to extend the enthusiasm after dark, and the other was just to come up with something unexpected a little creative, but still

fun,” Bartges said. “I just kind of envisioned several lighted bikes silhouetted against the sky and I thought it would be

After approaching the Ashland Main Street Association about his idea, they got to work and identified a rooftop on a building

Operations crew showed up the day of the installment and helped Bartges and others hoist the bikes up onto the rooftop.

Originally, Bartges looked into wrapping the bikes with solar-powered lights in an effort to keep the project as environmentally friendly as possible.

However, after reviewing the pros and cons of solar-powered lighting, he decided they were not bright enough and could be unpredictable.

metal straps attach the bikes to the pedestals, Bartges said.

Thomasson welded the stands on to each bike to hold them in place.

“I don’t think we could have pulled it off without him. He made some super sturdy stands for the bikes,” Bartges said.

Throughout the rest of the week, Bartges and those helping will be installing three more rooftop bike displays.

Locations include on top of the marquee of the Ashland Theatre, the roof of Ashland Coffee and Tea and the roof of

Princess Cleaners, enabling the lighted bikes to be seen for several blocks down Route 54.

Two bikes will be placed on each building’s roof with one being installed on Princess Cleaners’ roof.

“It’s nice to have a street level display, and now we’re going to have them lit up so they show up against the sky,” Bartges said. “They are painted pastels so they are quite visible during the day and very visible at night.”

While embarking on his project, Bartges found out

about some Ashland history that he previously did not know. Bartges has always noticed the “scads of bicyclists” pedaling around town during the weekends and was curious as to what generated all of this welcome bike traffic.

He learned that Ashland has a long history with bicyclists and that two of the U.S.’s oldest bike routes, U.S. Bike Route 1, which runs north to south, and U.S. Bike Route 76, also known as the Transamerica Route, intersect in town. U.S. Bike Route 76

traverses the state east to west.

The two route systems were installed in 1982.

The bikes used for the project were donated by the by the Hanover County landfill. The lights on the bikes are on timers and will turn on automatically at dusk and stay on for six hours.

The installation is expected to stay up at least through the month of September for the impending 2015 UCI Road World Championships bike race; however, some retailers may choose to leave it up year-round.

in-Education Program in area schools.

Concert-goers are invited to bring a lawn chair or a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy before the show.

As at all Bluemont concerts, no pets, alcohol or smoking are allowed.

In the event of bad weather, the concerts will be held indoors at the RandolphMacon College Blackwell Auditorium.

Everyone is welcome at the family-oriented concerts.

Bluemont partners and major donors in the private sector include many local businesses, friends and families in the community.

The Ashland Summer concerts are part of Bluemont’s award-winning program that brings 350 cultural programs to schools, communities and

healthcare facilities in 80 communities in northwest and central Virginia each year.

Bluemont relies on more than 1,200 volunteers each summer to ensure that per-

“Tara is a good example of someone who knew what she wanted and worked to achieve that goal,” said Associa Community Group president Scott Meardon.

The event that shaped his destiny was the trial of The Parsons’ Cause. Henry challenged the two most potent entities of

Finley was a native Virginian who was one of a handful of Southerners who got over the stone wall at Cemetery Ridge. He was captured and spent the next two years in federal prison camps. He vowed that he would become a minister if he survived the war. He eventually returned home and became pastor of a Presbyterian church in Fishersville, Virginia. Pickett’s Charge was the most dramatic event in the most dramatic battle of the most dramatic war in American history. Finley’s story captures all the drama and illustrates principles of leadership, courage and character.

Albert A. Tobey, 62, of Mechanicsville, passed away on July 4, 2015. Albert was born in Chickasaw, Oklahoma, on June 26, 1953.

Albert was tough on the outside, but a big teddy bear on the inside. He enjoyed fishing and hunting in his youth, and his favorite store was Bass Pro Shop. He worked as a truck driver for 30 years for Carpenter Company.

Arts & Education also installed a sensor that keeps the door open longer than the state law requirement of eight seconds.

“We have substantially elderly people so there’s a sensor in there that will keep that door open while they’re fumbling around,” Wright said.

“The law requires a minimum of eight seconds for the door to stay open, but sometimes that’s not going to be adequate if your 97 years old. … It just makes it safer for the person

whose disabled.”

Since installation, the new handicap-accessible automatic door has been well received by patrons.

“There’s a lot of patrons that I’ve spoken to, in my years of service here, etc, where they are nervous to come out to either come look at the galleries, come to the library, because they’re worried about that, ‘I don’t want to inconvenience somebody and call them to come open

the door for me,’ ” William Gaspar, president of The Montpelier Center for Arts & Education board of directors said. … “Now, they aren’t going to have to worry about making that phone call, as long as they can get here they’re going to have access to the center.”

The elderly patrons of the center are not the only ones that have welcomed the new addition.

The Montpelier Center for

Arts & Education frequently hosts events for young mothers who show up with strollers, kids, books and bags.

The new door has made it easier for these patrons to be able to get in and out easily.

“It’s a moral obligation to, you know, meet these laws for access,” Wright said.

At the reveal of the new handicap-accessible automatic door, the Pamunkey Regional Library board donated $500 toward the project.

Hanover golfers dominate in C-fed match

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MANQUIN – In one of the first matches between Hanover County teams in the 2015 prep golf season, the team with arguably the most experienced lineup prevailed.

Hanover met J.R. Tucker and host Lee-Davis at Queenfield Golf Club Thursday and, with a lineup whose lowest scorer was equal to or better than all but one competing golfer, prevailed with a score of 169 to 182 for the Confederates and 205 for the Tigers.

Hanover’s Cole Hodges, who posted a 39, was the medalist of the day, followed by teammate Ward Wilkinson with a 41. Hodges was feeling modest about his score.

“I didn’t play too bad,” Hodges said. “I missed a few short putts that were pretty horrendous, but I bounced back on the next hole, so it wasn’t too bad.”

Hodges blamed nothing but himself for his putting woes.

“The greens were fine,” Hodges said. “I was just misreading them, really. That’s just my fault. I need to hit the putting green.”

Lee-Davis’ Ben Hoare was the only golfer from one of the other teams to best any of the Hawks. Hoare came in third with a 42. The Hawks’ lowest scorer, Jimmy Hill, with a 45,

tied with Lee-Davis’ secondbest scorer, Jared Cabanban, and J.R. Tucker’s lowest scorer, Tino Robinson.

But Hanover head coach Chris Pace felt his Hawks could do better.

“I think we can shoot better than we did today,” said Pace, who noted that his No. 1, Wilkinson, got off to a rocky start. “Ward’s [problem] was

just one hole. He’s been 30something all season long. …

Today he had a 41 because he had one bad hole – he had a quad on No. 1. But it’s also good for him to bounce back like that. … He bounced back and played 1-over the rest of the way and that’s good.”

Lee-Davis set out to defend its home course after a trip south to play Prince George

the day before. Golf coach Kenny Lewis felt good about the Confederates’ performance given the fact that many of his players have other sports and/or work to focus on in golf offseason.

“Individually, we had some kids that played better from yesterday,” Lewis said. “We’ve got kids that do other stuff, and they haven’t been on the golf

Right now, we just want to get the experience. Get them out on different courses, put them on some different challenges and see how they do.”

For all the coaches, what happens in August is a lot less importance than what happens in September in their conference tournaments.

Mechanicsville falls in Southeast region final and did pretty good.”

By John Kosater For the Mechanicsville Local WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — The Mechanicsville National all-stars’ dreams of a trip to the Little League World Series ended Thursday night at the hands of South Carolina and the pitching and hitting of Alex Edmondson.

Edmondson pitched a nohitter, striking out 12, and also drove in five runs with two home runs to lead South Carolina to a 7-0 win in the championship game of the Southeastern Regionals.

The game was televised on ESPN2.

“I told our guys that I didn’t think we would face a better team than us, but we might run into a great pitcher that could beat us, and that is what happened in this game,” said Mechanicsville coach Brian Colgin. “I felt like we could hit the guy’s (Edmondson) fastball and we did at times, but his breaking ball and changeup made him pretty tough.

“Sure it’s tough to lose in the final game, but it has been an amazing experience for me getting to be around a bunch of kids who gave me everything they had.”

Tyler Warren shut South Carolina down in the first inning, and Mechanicsville had a chance to score. Caydon Richardson reached on an error to start the inning, but he was thrown out on a very close play at second when he tried to advance on a wild pitch. Warren then walked and advanced to second on a passed ball, but Edmondson got out of the inning with back-to-back strikeouts.

South Carolina scored a run in the second inning on a bases loaded walk and Edmondson hit the first of his two home runs in the third to give South

could not get anything going in this game.”

South Carolina put the game away in the fourth inning with four more runs, three on another homer by Edmondson, and the closest that Mechanicsville could get to scoring was Warren getting all the way to third base after he walked in the fourth.

But Edmondson responded by getting a strikeout to end the inning.

As Mechanicsville walked off of the field for the last time, there were very few tears.

District 5 Champs

Semifinal: Mechanicsville 5, Keystone, Fla. 2 WARNER ROBINS, Ga. – Brett Allen struck out 13 and hit a home run to lead Mechanicsville National to a 5-2 win over Florida on Wednesday, putting Mechanicsville into the final of the Little League Southeastern Regional.

Today at 5 p.m., Mechanicsville will play South Carolina for a berth in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

“I had a hard time getting loose before the game, but once I did, it was lights out,” said Allen, who gave up only two hits. “It’s a lot hotter in Georgia than it is in Virginia, and I was starting to get tired at the end, but I knew I just had to fight through it. Florida is a very good team, but we are a confident baseball team right now, and we can’t wait to get back on the field.”

The game was televised

by ESPN, but neither team seemed nervous. Allen gave up a one-out home run to Keaton Howard in the first inning, then struck out the next eight hitters.

It didn’t take long for Mechanicsville to get the lead.

Caydon Richardson led off the first inning with a single and advanced to third on Tyler Warren’s double. Richardson scored on an infield grounder

by Allen, and Warren scored on a single by Carter Trice to give Mechanicsville a 2-1 lead.

Mechanicsville added a run in the third on Allen’s homer, but Florida countered with a run in the top of the fifth on two errors, trimming its lead to 3-2. When the team came off the field after that inning, coach Brian Colgin stopped the players before they got to the dugout and had a talk with

them.

“I told them we had a great pitcher on the mound and we were right where we wanted to be,” Colgin said. “But I also said that we needed to get the bats going and get some insurance runs. This team knows what we are capable of doing at the plate.”

Mechanicsville got a leadoff single by Richardson, which was followed by a two-run homer from Warren, who is 11 for 19 in the tournament, to stretch the lead to 5-2 heading into the last inning.

“We knew that they had their best hitter up to start the next inning and we wanted to put some runs on the board,” Warren said. “I wasn’t trying to hit a home run, but I just wanted to hit the ball hard somewhere, and I got a fastball and got all of it.”

Florida got one batter on in the final inning, and Allen had to exit because he reached the game limit for pitches.

Caleb Harris came in to get the last out with a little help from Caden Plummer, who made a diving catch in right field.

Colgin said Warren probably would start today’s game against South Carolina.

“We have great confidence in a lot of our pitchers, but Tyler will be the guy,” Colgin said. “These guys just aren’t ready to start buying school supplies just yet, and Thursday should be a lot of fun.”
