A.J. Verga Lights-Out in Varsity Debut, Floyd Wins 6-0
Floyd sophomore A.J. Verga fired a one-hit shutout in his varsity debut today against Longwood by the score of 6-0. Head Coach Paul Longo stated that he was “very proud” of his LHP for stepping up and performing that well in his first start of the season. He struck out five Longwood batters. Niko Rodriguez smacked a two-out two-run double in the fifth and that provided all the offense he would need. His pitching coach, Neal Heaton, stated that he has vastly improved since his time working with him and he threw very well this winter. Floyd is coming off an 8-win season, but they now have a potentially dynamic 1-2 punch in the rotation with Verga and senior RHP Robert Brust, who was the catcher today. They will play again on Wednesday as Floyd looks to win the series.
