Fluvanna scored three additional times in the fourth behind four hits (Shepherd, Dudley, Kyle Pillow, Foster) and three RBIs (Pillow, Josh Barringer, Foster).
On the mound, Tyler Denby allowed jut three hits while striking out eight Hornets. Orange’s lone run came on a Derek Justice RBI when he knocked in Trey Maupin.
