(Danville) — The Otterbots have brought a championship to Danville.
Our boys of summer scored six runs in the second inning Saturday night, putting the 2024 Appalachian League Championship game against the Greeneville Flyboys out of reach early.
Rain delayed the start by thirty minutes. Greeneville scored a run in the first that the Bots matched in their half of the opening frame. The seven-run second gave Danville a comfortable margin. They extended it to 11-to-1 heading into the last inning.
The Flyboys rallied with a four-run ninth inning, but it wasn’t enough as the Bots took home the title with an 11-to-5 win!
The Otterbots ended their season with a solid 31-and-17 record.
