FCL Nationals 10 FCL Cardinals 9
• B. Sanchez 1⅔ IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 0K

• Dietrich 1-3, R, HR, SF, 3RBI

The F-Nats built leads of 7-1 and 9-2 before nearly blowing it with a six-run 7th. Alas, they put down the beer and held on for a 10-9 win over the F-Cards. Bryan Sanchez got the start and went one and 2/3rds scoreless, allowing two hits and a walk without a whiff. For some reason, Johan Otanez was ruled the most effective reliever with seven runs allowed over two-plus innings for the “W” while Karlo Seijas closed it out with a run over three innings for the save. Christopher De La Cruz reached base three times with a walk, a single, and a double while Roismar Quintana singled, doubled, and scored two runs to lead the F-Nats offense.
