Woodbridge, Va. –– The defense betrayed Potomac again Tuesday night in Woodbridge, as three more errors led to three unearned runs and proved too much to overcome in a 4-3 loss to the Kinston Indians. Potomac has now made multiple errors in six straight games and has dropped three straight ballgames to fall to 18-26, nine back of the Wilmington Blue Rocks.

The P-Nats jumped on the board first with Steven Souza’s leadoff home run in the second inning, but the lead was short-lived. Kinston tied it in the top of the third thanks to the Nats’ first error of the game. With two outs Tyler Holt and Casey Frawley roped consecutive singles. Bo Greenwell then hit a grounder to short that was misplayed by Jose Lozada that tied the game.

Kinston (20-23) cashed in on Potomac’s sloppiness in the first inning. A pair of leadoff walks from Cameron Selik burned the Nationals when Jeremie Tice blasted a home run over the left field wall to give the K-Tribe a 3-0 edge.

Potomac was silenced by emergency starter Toru Murata for the better part of four innings; lefthanded prospect Drew Pomeranz was a late scratched for undisclosed reasons. The Nationals (18-25) finally got a rally going in the fourth when they loaded the bases with two outs. But Francisco Jimenez (1-0) came on in relief of Murata and got Sandy Leon to ground out to escape the jam.

Fire and rescue crews were called to Liberty Grove in Manassas about 9 a.m., after water pipe burst within one of the building’s fire sprinkler systems.

No one was injured, but at crews on the scene said a “major salvage” operation was underway to save as much property as possible.

Woodbridge, Va. –– The Potomac Nationals organization on Monday had yet to hear back from Washington Redskins quarterback, Donovan McNabb.
