First Doubleheader: A Big Step Forward for WinCity Baseball

This past weekend marked a major milestone for our program—our first official doubleheader as an organized team. We faced one of the toughest competitors in the region, the Snyder Bucks out of Manassas, Virginia. Known for their depth and talent, the Bucks gave our players a true test of what travel baseball in Winchester VA is all about.

The scoreboard showed losses, but for our team this was never about chasing an easy win. From the beginning, we set out to face strong opponents because that’s where real growth happens. Playing the Bucks gave us exactly what we hoped for—insight into where we need to adjust and what to focus on in training. In that sense, the day was a success.

There were bright spots on the field, too. Hayden C took the mound in the opener, striking out one and giving the team a steady start. At the plate, Hayden also notched a hit, while Keegan M kept the pressure on with two stolen bases. In the field, Gus R was rock-solid, handling eight defensive chances without an error. As a group, WinCity–Madagan 10U played clean defense, finishing the day without a single fielding mistake—a sign of focus and discipline we’re proud of.

For our coaches, this was a proud moment. We’re confident these kids will take that knowledge and use it to keep improving.

We’re grateful to our sponsors for helping make days like this possible. Your support allows us to give kids the chance to compete, learn, and carry forward the tradition of youth baseball in the Winchester community. This was just the first step, and with each challenge, our team grows stronger.
