Travis Crump drove in three runs, including his league-leading fourth home run of the season, as the Deltaville Deltas surged early past the Tappahannock Tides by the score of 9-5 on Saturday, July 23.

The evening’s home win pushed Deltaville to a 11-2 mark in Richmond NABA play, and guaranteed the Deltas top seed in the East Division for the league tournament, which commences Aug. 2. The Tides fell to 8-5, tied for second in the division with the Richmond River Dogs.

The season’s regular season finale will be this weekend, as the Deltas take on a pair of competitive games to finish out the regular season. On Friday, July 29 the River Dogs will visit Deltaville for a makeup of an earlier rainout. On Saturday, July 30, the Deltas will host the Prince George Blue Sox, leader of the Virginia Commonwealth Baseball League. The Blue Sox are on a bye week before their postseason tournament, which they enter after having lost just one game during the regular season. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.
