Home Run Derby
The American Division players took to the field after the Greater Loudoun game Sunday for the Home Run Derby. One player represented each team with two players advancing to the finals Tuesday. The National Division will take to the field Monday for its home run derby first round.

Keith Hummer of Winchester made the biggest bang by hitting his "gold" baseball, the final baseball thrown as players reached their final out, over the temporary fencing set up in the outfield. At the time, Hummer already had four home runs to lead the pack but the golden blast gave him 10 points for a total of 14.

The home run derby is sponsored by Dulles Motorcars.
