WOODBRIDGE, Va. – The Frederick Keys defeated the Potomac Nationals 4-1 in a six-inning contest delayed by lightning and ended by rain at the Pfitz Tuesday night. The two teams were set to play two but weather allowed the P-Nats and Keys to just play one.

Rain started in the fifth inning and continued very lightly in the sixth with lightning off in the distance. After five innings from starter RHP Kyle Simon, Clay Schrader came on for the Keys in relief with Frederick (12-22) leading 4-1. He walked the first two batters bringing up the tying run in Randolph Oduber. Right as he was about to deliver the first pitch to Oduber, lightning struck very close to the park down the third base side and both teams ran into clubhouses. The game was called 40 minutes later.

Potomac High School Students Champion Debaters

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — If you want to get your point across in any argument, take a cue from skilled debaters at Potomac High School. Two Potomac students have honed their research and speaking skills, composure, and competitive drive sufficiently to best the best at local, regional, state, and Collegiate National Invitationals.

It is no small feat to master the art of debate. Our country’s history is filled with stories of great debaters as far back as Colonial times; and students of ancient history and philosophy likely know well the works of great orators. Perhaps we will find the young standouts someday taking on a leadership role in the great debates about our nation.
