“In game one, which was a resumption from an April game that was suspended due to rain, the two clubs took the field in the bottom of the second inning with Delmarva ahead 2-1. Brad Lord held the score there, until the top of the fifth inning. Carter Young and Angel Tejada both singled, then Samuel Basallo got plunked to load the bases. Lord struck out a pair of batters to get two outs, but Erison Placencia singled into right field to plate Young and push Delmarva ahead 3-1.”
“But in the home half, Fredericksburg bounced back. Paul Witt drew a lead-off walk, before Cortland Lawson plated Witt with a triple. Daylen Lile then came through with a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 3-3.”

OmniRide: “The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) has scheduled a public hearing to discuss the following proposed changes to OmniRide bus services.”
“Consolidation of the Lake Ridge-Washington DC (L100) and Lake Ridge-Pentagon-Crystal City (L200) commuter routes into one route. The consolidated route would serve the Pentagon Transit Center as well as all current L100 stops in downtown Washington. Extension of select Dale City-Pentagon (D200) trips into Crystal City to compensate for the Lake Ridge route consolidation. Introduction of new Eastern and Western Commuter Lot Connector trips to provide additional access to commuter lots during off peak times. Details about these proposed changes will be available at OmniRide.com prior to the public hearing.”
