Two Petersburg Generals received league-wide honors from the Coastal Plain League .

Daniel Wood (VMI ), a left-handed pitcher, received the power pitcher award.

Wood’s award is well earned, as he has just a 2.45 ERA in 18 appearances for the Generals. In 36.2 innings, Wood has contributed five saves, and an opponent batting average of just .233.

Daniel Barnes (Princeton ) received the Pitcher of the Week award, which is given weekly to a standout pitcher in the league. Barnes, a freshman right-handed pitcher, has just a 2.76 ERA, with a 4-1 record for the Generals. In nine appearances and seven starts, Barnes has allowed just a .213 opponent batting average.

“These two pitchers have been vital to the Generals this year. Their hard work and great ability make them worthy recipients of these awards,” said Generals’ president, Dr. Larry Toombs.

The Petersburg Generals are a member of the Coastal Plain League , the nation’s hottest summer collegiate baseball league. Celebrating its twelfth season, the Coastal Plain League features 14 teams playing in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The CPL gives college players the chance to refine their skills with the use of wooden bats. Players are housed with local host families for the summer and past experiences have been very positive for both players and hosts.
