The Fredericksburg Nationals staged an improbable comeback to sweep the three-game series vs. the Shorebirds Sunday. The FredNats scored seven times in the 8th and 9th to turn an 8-3 deficit into a 10-8 win.
JT Arruda led the way offensively, exploding for four RBIs, including one in the ninth to put the FredNats ahead 9-8. Arruda teed off for his second homer of the summer in the third, tying the contest at 3-3 before a 5-run fourth put the Shorebirds in front.
