Salem’s Brainer Bonaci was the star of the day, going 6-for-8 with two home runs, two doubles, a triple and a single. He drove in a combined eight runs in the two games. The two home runs were his first two of the season.
Tuesday’s game was suspended with the bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the 5th inning. Jacob Young started the day today coming up in that situation, and on his 23rd birthday, he hit a sacrifice fly to right center field to cut the lead to 5-1. Christopher De La Cruz was then caught in a rundown that allowed another run to score to cut the lead to 5-2, but a two-run single by Bonaci in the 6th solidified the Salem lead and the win. Andry Lara (2-6) took the loss for Fredericksburg.
