Rutledge ran into a bit of trouble in the 2nd inning when Delmarva put runners on the corner with one out, but the sinkerballer righty induced an inning-ending double play, and it was smooth sailing after that. Rutledge retired the final 11 men in a row, and has a scoreless streak of 13 innings and counting at home.

De La Rosa started a FredNat rally in the 3rd with a two-out single, and after he stole second, Leandro Emiliani roped a double to the right field corner to score De La Rosa and make it 1-0 FredNats.

Germanna Community College will soon move its Fried Center location to a new campus on Garrisonville Road in North Stafford.

During a recent Central Rappahannock Regional Library Board of Trustees meeting, the library announced the community college would move from its location at 124 Old Potomac Church Road in Stafford. CRRL operates a branch library inside the campus, known as the Barbara J. Fried Center, which opened in 2018.

Potomac Local News contacted Germanna Community College for comment. It declined to comment, citing an upcoming announcement.

According to CRRL Director Martha Hutzel, the new Germanna location will be near the library's Porter Branch on Parkway Boulevard. Due to its proximity to the existing branch library, it's unclear if CRRL will relocate the small library inside the Fried Center to the campus location.

If the CRRL decides the close the campus branch, Hutzel said other branches would absorb its location's collection. The Fried Branch has only one part-time employee who could be reassigned to another department.

Before opening its current location on Old Potomac Church Road near Stafford Hospital, Germanna operated its North Stafford Campus from the Aquia Park shopping center on Route 1, near a large post office.

The Fried Center offers all of Germanna's transfer programs, including cybersecurity, nursing, and business administration. The Fried Center started having capacity issues in its first year of operation with a population of 700 students.

An expansion of the Fried Center was considered in 2019, which would have covered health and science lab learning spaces and a microbiology lab. The total cost of the construction and the leasing would have cost Germanna $1 million.
