Gilberto Chu and Amos Willingham combined for five runs over three innings, with Willingham wearing his second blown save in as many appearances. The loss went to Troy Stainbrook with two runs (one earned) allowed on one hit and five walks (two intentional). Wilmington got four in the 1st, two in the 2nd, and were shut down until the 10th.

Fredericksburg went medieval on Carolina’s [buttocks] with a six-run 8th to turn an 8-1 demolition into a 14-1 laugher. Rodney Theophile picked up his first win with five innings of one-run ball on six hits, one walk, and six strikeouts. Peyton Glavine put up three goose eggs for his second hold while Orlando Ribalta recovered from his last outing with a scoreless inning, though he did walk two. Every FredNat batter but one drew a walk (for a total of 10), while the one who didn’t – Sammy Infante – hit a three-run HR. Junior Martina also homered and singled twice to lead the Fredericksburg assault. Don’t worry: Brady House also got a hit to extend his hit streak to seven games.
