Lynchburg, Va. –– Brian Peacock’s pinch-hit double in the ninth inning broke a 9-9 tie, capped a stirring comeback and put the Nationals ahead for the first time in a game they once trailed 8-1 and eventually held on to win 11-10 on Monday night in Lynchburg.
In the end, Destin Hood’s sacrifice fly later in the ninth proved the game winner, as the Nationals yielded a run in the bottom half, threw out the tying run at home plate and escaped with the signature win of their season. With the victory, Potomac won its fourth consecutive series and closed out a six-game road trip with their fourth victory that increased their second-half lead in the Carolina League’s Northern Division

Lynchburg, Va. –– Sammy Solis shut down the Lynchburg Hillcats for seven innings and got just enough run support as the Potomac Nationals leveled the series with a 2-0 win at City Stadium on Sunday night. It was Solis’s second win in as many starts with Potomac and set up a rubber match in the series finale Monday.
The lefthander Solis faced his toughest challenge in the very first inning. Consecutive one-out singles from Andrelton Simmons and Phil Gosselin put Solis in a jam, but he induced a pair of ground balls to second to escape trouble. He retired Lynchburg in order in the second and third innings, by which time the Nationals had taken a lead.
Woodbridge, Va. –– The first phase of widening U.S. 1 in Woodbridge is fully funded.
