At 8:31 p.m., a 39-year-old man from Fredericksburg said he had just pulled into a parking lot in the 2900 block of Dale Boulevard, at the Ashdale shopping plaza, when a man walked up to him and asked for money.
The P-Nats led twice in the series opener but the bullpen faltered in the late innings, and the top of the order failed to deliver on numerous occasions that could have stretched the Potomac lead. Cutter Dykstra and Jeff Kobernus combined to go 0-for-9 and leave nine runners on base, including two in the seventh inning before the Dash surged ahead for good.
Potomac (11-19) led after the first inning for the second straight night. Destin Hood roped a two-out single and stole second base before Justin Bloxom drove him in with a single to right.
