Harrisburg overcame deficits of 4-0 and 5-4 to win the series opener, 6-5, and extend its winning streak to seven. Tyler Mapes got his second straight no-decision with four runs let in on eight hits, including a two-run HR in Portland’s four-run 3rd, over six innings. He walked none and struck out four. Derek Self vultured the win with a run given up in his single inning of work. Koda Glover struck out two of three batters faced while pitching a 1-2-3 ninth and earning his second save. Zach Collier was a one-man wrecking crew as he walked, singled, tripled, stole a base, drove in a run, scored three runs, and doubled a runner off first as part of a 9-6-3 DP.
Frederick 1 Potomac 0 – GAME ONE
• Fedde 5IP, 3H, 0R, 0BB, 6K
• Ross (L, 1-2) 4BF, 3H, R, ER, BB, 0K, WP
• Keller 1-2, R, BB
• DeBruin 1-2, 2B, BB, RBI
The Keys broke up the Star Trek convention with a walkoff single in the 7th against a five-man infield for a 1-0 win in the opener. Greg Ross failed to retire a batter as he walked one and gave up three hits to take the loss. Erick Fedde started and shut out the Keys for five innings on threes with nary a walk and six whiffs. The P-Nats bats were held to just three hits and a walk, with just four chances with runners in scoring position.
Potomac 2 Frederick 0 – GAME TWO
• Whiting (W, 5-1) 5+ IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Brinley (SV, 6) 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 2-0 IR-S
• Keller 1-2, R, BB
• DeBruin 1-2, 2B, BB, RBI
The tables were turned in the nightcap as three Potomac pitchers combined on a 2-0 shutout of Frederick on five hits. Boone Whiting started and got the win on five-plus innings with four hits and no walks given up and three strikeouts. Ryan Brinley stranded two while getting the last out in the 6th and worked around a leadoff single in the 7th for his sixth save. Alec Keller, Grant DeBruin, and Matt Reistetter each had a hit and a walk to pace the P-Nats attack.Roster move: RHP Matt Belisle assigned for MLB rehab.
Hagerstown 7 Lakewood 4
• Avila (W, 3-2) 5IP, 2H, 0R, 3BB, 5K
• Rivera (SV, 3) 2IP, 2H, R, ER, 0BB, 0K, 1-0 IR-S
• Page 2-4, R, 2B, BB, 2RBI
• Sagdal 2-5, R, 2B
• Schrock 2-5, R, RBI
A 4-0 lead proved almost too big for the Suns bullpen, which made things interesting by coughing up three in the 8th and one in the 9th. The Hagerstown offense, however, sandwiched a three-run rally in its half of the 9th to preserve the win by a 7-4 score. Pedro Avila’s five shutout innings were not wasted as he got his third “W” on two hits and three walks allowed while fanning five. Mariano Rivera III stranded a runner in the 8th and gave up a run in the 9th while earning his third save. Matthew Page led the 11-hit charge with a single, double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored.
