Potomac had no trouble getting baserunners on (seven hits, six walks) but Aldrem Corredor’s two-run single was the exception as they left on 14 runners in a 3-2 loss to split the doubleheader. Carson Teel got the spot start and delivered five innings of one-run ball on four hits and two walks while fanning two. Luis Reyes’s 23-inning scoreless streak ended when Aaron Fletcher couldn’t bail him out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam and walked in the tying run for the blown save in the 6th. Fletcher lost it in the 7th when a leadoff single got turned into a Little League double and two more singles brought in the go-ahead run. The P-Nats loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning but left on runners no. 12, 13, and 14.

Hickory 7 Hagerstown 0
• Irvin (L, 4-5) 5IP, 8H, 5R, 4ER, BB, K, 2HR
