In the series opener of what is a crucial series for the FredNats’ first-half chances, Fredericksburg got the job done in nail-biting fashion, beating the Lynchburg Hillcats by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.
Branden Boissiere got the big hit to tie the game in the 7th inning after the FredNats trailed 2-0, and a mishap in the outfield by Lynchburg allowed the go-ahead run to score. The FredNat bullpen held onto the lead for the win.
