A Cape Charles resident was sentenced to a year of active time in prison on Wednesday in Northampton Circuit Court for beating a Machipongo man with a baseball bat and breaking his $300 sunglasses during a Little League game at the ballpark in Nassawadox last April.

Forty-six-year-old Mark Callison Bundy Jr., of Old Cape Charles Road, was given a five-year term for maliciously wounding Jake Mapp, of Church Neck Road. Judge Leslie L. Lilley suspended four years of the sentence. Bundy will be on supervised probation for five years. The defendant was ordered to make restitution for the sunglasses and was fined $500 for a misdemeanor count of using abusive language to another.

According to the court file, Bundy hit Mapp in the head and leg with a bat. The incident occurred at 5:45 p.m., April 3.
