By Potomac Local News

J.P. Ramirez and Sandy Leon led off the top of the third with back-to-back walks, setting up the big inning. Ramirez was wiped off the bases by a fielder choice from J.R. Higley. But one batter later, Eury Perez singled home Leon, making the game 2-0 Potomac. The center-fielder continues hit the ball well right now. He’s 12-18, five RBI, and three doubles in the past five games, including 2-4 with an RBI tonight.
