The Chantilly Chargers lost to the Herndon Hornets in their last game of the season, 4-2. Chantilly had led for most of the game until Herndon tied the score in the top of the 7th and went ahead for good in the top of the 8th.

The Chargers celebrated Senior Night Friday night before the game and managed to play the first inning before thunderstorms rolled in. The game did not resume until 9 the next morning at Herndon High School.

Chantilly scored both of its runs in the first inning. Leadoff batter Connor Major hit the first pitch to center field and ended up on second. A wild pitch advanced him to third, and he scored on a single by shortstop Jaime Danehower. Later in the inning Matt DeWitt hit a double down the third base line. Tyler Wykoff, running for DeWitt, scored on a shot to right field by Ben Langford which dropped out of the fielder's glove.

Also contributing to Chantilly's offense were Connor Major, Matt DeWitt, Ben Langford, Wes Kerbuski, and Sam Zimmerman, who all hit singles.

Defensively, Chantilly had two fielding errors. Catcher Matt DeWitt threw out two runners attempting to steal second. There were web gem catches by Sonny Romine, Wes Kerbuski, and Bill Boyle which helped to shut down Herndon in the middle innings.

Senior Bill Boyle (3-1/3 IP, 1 K, 3 BB, 5 hits, 4 ER) pitched the first inning at Chantilly High School Friday night, and was the closer Saturday morning. CJ Irwin (4-2/3 IP, 1 K, 1 BB, 2 hits) pitched in between and allowed no earned runs.
