BERRYVILLE – Strasburg High School’s baseball team appears to have Clarke County’s number.
The Rams’ battery – senior pitcher Matt Neal and senior catcher Jay Barnes – powered Strasburg to its sixth straight win over its Bull Run District rival.
Barnes went 2 for 3 with a pair of home runs and Neal pitched a complete-game as Strasburg defeated Clarke County 8-2 at Singhas Field Tuesday.
The Rams (10-2 overall, 5-1 district) haven’t lost to Clarke County (6-6 overall, 3-2 district) since their first meeting during the 2001 regular season.
