Nick Banks’s two-run HR highlighted a three-run rally in the 3rd as the P-Nats evened up the best-of-the-five CLDS with the Hillcats at 1-1 with a 4-1 victory. Matt Crownover put on nine baserunners (five hits, four walks) over five innings and stranded eight of them to pick up the “W.” Ben Braymer came out of the ‘pen and got seven of nine outs by way of “K” to earn the hold. Steven Fuentes capped things off with a 1-2-3 ninth to notch the save. Banks, Rhett Wiseman, and Luis Garcia each had two hits as Potomac racked up ten total. The series finishes with Games 3 and 4 (and 5 if necessary) in Woodbridge, where Lynchburg took 3-of-4 in April and Potomac took 2-of-3 in August.
Hudson Valley 7 Auburn 3

Hudson Valley trailed just once as the defending NYPL champions and owners of the best regular-season record swept away Auburn with a 7-3 win. Francys Peguero, who had been scheduled for the decisive Game 3, was called upon to get them there and gave up the first two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out a season-high of seven. Chandler Day, who had given up two runs in his last 18 innings, was lit up for three runs over two innings on five hits and a walk to suffer the loss. Doubledays pitchers could only stop the Renegades from scoring twice in eight innings. On the other side of the ball, the Auburn hitters were held to just seven hits and two walks with Cole Daily the sole batter to have two hits. Neither was a double.
