FredNats

Fredericksburg Nationals: “The FredNats picked up their second straight win over the Salem Red Sox, winning 4-2 in front of over 5,000 fans at VACU Stadium.”

“Fredericksburg jumped on Salem starter Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz in the bottom of the first inning. Armando Cruz drew a walk with one man gone, before Daylen Lile doubled to put runners on second and third. Branden Boissiere lifted a pitch into center field for a sacrifice fly to bring Cruz home with the first run of the game. Blake Klassen followed with his first FredNat RBI, a double to plate Lile and push the Freddies ahead 2-0.”

Fredericksburg Nationals: “The FredNats shut out the Salem Red Sox 2-0, to snap a five-game losing streak.”

“Salem starter Noah Dean danced out of some trouble in the first two innings. The southpaw walked six batters in just 1.2 innings of work, but managed to avoid any damage.”

Fredericksburg Nationals: “The Salem Red Sox recorded a 7-4 win in the series opener against the FredNats.”

“After a scoreless first inning, the Red Sox took advantage of some erratic pitching from Luke Young. He walked three of the first four batters in the top of the second, but picked up a strikeout for the second out. Young worked to a 1-1 count against Juan Chacon, who laced a bases-clearing double into the left-center field alley to put Salem ahead 3-0.”

“Paul Witt crushed his 10th homer of the season in the top of the first inning, giving the Freddies an early 1-0 lead.”

“That was short lived though, as Columbia battled back in the bottom of the second. Erick Peña singled with two outs, and then stole second base. Brennan McNair drove him home with a single to right field to tie the game.”

Frederickburg Nationals: “The FredNats dropped a heartbreaker to the Columbia Fireflies, losing 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning.”

“Columbia tagged Brad Lord in the bottom of the first inning. After Lord got two quick outs, Austin Charles singled into center field. Brett Squires then continued his big series with an RBI double off the wall in right-center to plate Charles, and give the Fireflies a 1-0 edge.”

Fredericksburg Nationals: “The Fredericksburg Nationals were shut out at the hands of the Columbia Fireflies, opening up the second half with a 5-0 defeat.”

“Columbia got to starter Riley Cornelio in the bottom of the first inning. He allowed a leadoff double to Jean Ramirez, but battled to get the next two outs. Brett Squires then roped a double down the right field line to bring Ramirez in with the first run of the game. Later in the frame, Daniel Vazquez grounded a ball to shortstop that was misplayed, and allowed Squires to score an unearned run against Cornelio to go ahead 2-0.”

Fredericksburg Nationals: “The FredNats and Fireflies split a doubleheader on Thursday night, with the Nats winning game one 5-1, and Columbia taking game two 3-2 in eight innings.”

“The Fireflies got on the board first when the game resumed in the bottom of the third inning. Brennon McNair was on first base when the game was initially suspended, and he promptly stole second base. He advanced to third base on a fly ball to right field, then scored on an Omar Hernandez RBI single to give Columbia the early 1-0 edge.”

Fredericksburg Nationals: “The Fredericksburg Nationals took an 8-2 defeat against the Myrtle Beach Pelicans to wrap up the six-game set.”

“After a scoreless first inning, the Nats struck in the top of the second. Sammy Infante opened the frame with a double, then later, Branden Boissiere doubled as well to plate Infante with the first run of the game.”

Fredericksburg Nationals: “The Fredericksburg Nationals fell behind early to the Pelicans and could not come back in a 7-3 defeat.”

“Myrtle Beach took the lead right away in the bottom of the first on a Moises Ballesteros home run to left field. Then in the second inning, the Pelicans extended their lead. Rafael Morel and Pedro Ramirez opened the frame with back-to-back singles, then Miguel Pabon doubled back up the middle to plate Morel to make it a 2-0 edge. Reivaj Garcia added another run with an RBI groundout before Ballesteros struck again with a single into right, which brought Pabon across with the fourth run.”

Fredericksburg Nationals: “The FredNats dropped a 1-0 nail biter to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans in their second meeting of the week.”

“Bryan Caceres took the ball for Fredericksburg, and continued what has been a very good run for him in his return to the starting rotation. He gave up just two base hits in five scoreless innings, but did walk four hitters. Caceres worked himself into and out of trouble throughout the night. On two separate occasions, Myrtle Beach had runners on second and third with one out, but could not score against the FredNat righty.”
