The Sens made the most of their six hits and four walks, driving in three via the sacrifice fly for a misleading 1-for-7 mark with RISP.

Potomac vs. Lynchburg – PPD
Rain also put the brakes on the series opener between Potomac and Lynchburg. They’ll shoot to make this one up on Saturday rather than today, given the chance for a packed house for five hours weather forecast today.

Mick VanVossen locked ’em down until the 9th, when he ceded to Jordan Mills who struck out two while stranding two.
