FredNats

The FredNats dropped the third game of their six-game series with Down East 5-0 Thursday. The FredNats maintain a lead in the series at two games to one.

Righty Emiliano Teodo held the Fredericksburg offense in check most of the evening. The starter went five, allowing just a walk while striking out 10. Jose Corniell helped him carry a no-hitter into the 7th. Steven Williams, Christopher De La Cruz and Branden Boissiere picked up singles in the last three innings.

The FredNats pulled out a 4-3 win in ten innings to begin the six-game series vs. Down East Tuesday. Geraldi Diaz and Yoander Rivero notched go-ahead RBIs in the 10th to power the dramatic win.

Andry Lara got the start for the FredNats and dazzled, allowing a first inning run before firing five straight scoreless. The stretch included an incredible three-pitch inning in the fifth. He outdueled Mitch Bratt, who went five innings as the Wood Ducks starter and allowed two unearned runs when an errant relay throw allowed Diaz and Andry Arias to score the only two Fredericksburg runs in regularly-scheduled play.

The FredNats were down three runs two different times and four runs once, but rallied for three runs in the 7th and four runs in the 8th to beat the Salem Red Sox 9-6 on Firework Friday in front of over 4,500 fans at Virginia Credit Union Stadium. Salem struck first on an RBI single […]

After dropping two yesterday, the FredNat offense came back to life on Thirsty Thursday to take down the Salem Red Sox 8-3. Will Frizzell hit a two-run homer, and Jose Atencio pitched five innings of two-run ball in his FredNat debut to win.

A two-run home run for Frizzell to left center field in the bottom of the 1st inning put the FredNats ahead. Salem added a run in the 3rd on a sacrifice fly from Brainer Bonaci. RBIs from Paul Witt in the 4th and Yoander Rivero in the 5th made it a 3-3 ballgame, and then the FredNats scored the final five runs of the game to win 8-3.

Salem’s Brainer Bonaci was the star of the day, going 6-for-8 with two home runs, two doubles, a triple and a single. He drove in a combined eight runs in the two games. The two home runs were his first two of the season.

Tuesday’s game was suspended with the bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the 5th inning. Jacob Young started the day today coming up in that situation, and on his 23rd birthday, he hit a sacrifice fly to right center field to cut the lead to 5-1. Christopher De La Cruz was then caught in a rundown that allowed another run to score to cut the lead to 5-2, but a two-run single by Bonaci in the 6th solidified the Salem lead and the win. Andry Lara (2-6) took the loss for Fredericksburg.

The Tuesday night game between the FredNats and Salem Red Sox was suspended in the bottom of the 5th inning due to inclement weather.

The two teams will finish the game in its entirety tomorrow, with the first pitch scheduled today at 5:05 p.m. and then will play a seven-inning game 30 minutes after the conclusion of game one. Salem leads 5-0 in the 5th inning.

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.

Pablo Aldonis spun five innings of shutout ball with six strikeouts in his FredNat debut. Junior Martina drove in three runs, and the FredNats beat the Augusta GreenJackets 4-0 in the series finale at SRP Park in Augusta.

The left-hander from the Dominican Republic allowed just two hits and surrendered two walks and was basically flawless in FredNat debut since being called up from the Florida Complex League on Tuesday.

Mason Denaburg had a strong start, but the FredNat bats were only able to muster two hits in a 3-2 loss to the Augusta GreenJackets on Thursday night at SRP Park in Augusta, S.C.

Denaburg pitched four innings of one-run ball after allowing a single and a triple in the 1st inning. He allowed only two base runners after that and finished with five strikeouts in four innings pitched.

The FredNat bats were silent for most of the night in the series opener with the Augusta GreenJackets on Tuesday night at SRP Park, and it was the hosts that ran away with a 6-2 win. Sammy Infante had both FredNat RBIs.

Andrew Alvarez started for Fredericksburg and kept the team in the game, pitching five innings, allowing three earned runs and striking out six. Marc Davis was charged with three runs in relief, and Cody Greenhill pitched a scoreless inning out of the FredNat pen.
