For the second straight game, just two Nationals minor-leaguers got into the game…
• Brian Goodwin led off and played centerfield but went hitless with an 0-for-4 mark, making a single putout on defense.
• Jason Martinson played third base and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored. The 24-year-old snagged a lineout in the 6th and threw out two runners at first on grounders in the 2nd and 5th innings.
The tie, the second of the fall for the Rafters, enabled Scottsdale to move with a ½ game of Salt River in the AFL East. The Rafters play host to the Desert Dogs this afternoon.
