IN BRIEF: Three Builders drove in three runs each as The Apprentice School defeated visiting College of the Albemarle 11-6 on Thursday night.  Trevin Wilson, Brian Belvin and Javier Remigio drove in three each as Ryland Edwards won his second decision of the season.

ON THE FIELD:  After one out in the bottom of the first, the Builders put together a single and stolen base from Brock Harris, a walk to Chris Aldridge and RBI singles from Belvin and Remigio to take an early 2-0 lead.

The Dolphins scored three in the top of the second, but the Builders responded with two more as Thomas Dudley started with a single and Thomas Richardson moved him to third with a single through the right side of the infield.  A Wilson RBI single was followed by an infield single from Harris and a RBI single from Aldridge for a 5-4 lead.

Apprentice School broke it open in the third as they pushed five runs across.  Four of those came on two-run singles from Belvin and Remigio along with an RBI single from Wilson to lead 9-3 after three complete.

The Builders scored an unearned run in the fourth as a throwing error plated Lee Rossi who started with a walk.  After giving up a pair in the fifth, the Builders scored one on the bottom of the sixth as Rossi doubled and went to third on a sacrifice from Richardson.  Wilson came up and dropped a suicide squeeze bunt to score Rossi for the 11-6 eventual final.
