Wilmington left on 10 men and had but one hit in nine RISP chances as Jersey Shore greased by, 3-1. Seth Shuman tossed five innings of two-run ball on five hits and four walks and four strikeouts. He was rewarded with his second loss. Israel Pineda singled twice and drove in the sole run with a one-out single in the 6th. Drew Mendoza and Yasel Antuna also reached base twice with a single and a walk as the Blue Rocks tallied eight hits and drew five walks.

The FredNats busted out for seven in the 7th to take their fifth straight, 9-2 over the Shorebirds. Mason Denaburg gave up a homer and three hits total over the first four innings. He walked none and fanned four. Marc Davis blanked Delmarva over the next four frames, allowing just one hit and striking out three to pick up the win. Jacob Young was the beer man, though he did draw one of two walks, as Fredericksburg marched to a 12-hit parade, with the bottom third of the order combining for six hits, four runs, and three RBI.
Roster moves: RHP Todd Peterson MiLB rehab ended, reassigned from Wilmington.

FCL Nationals 10 FCL Cardinals 9
• B. Sanchez 1⅔ IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 0K
• Otanez (W, 1-1) 2+ IP, 6H, 7R, 7ER, 3BB, 2K, HR, WP

• De La Cruz 2-4, 3R, BB, 2B, RBI, CS
• Quintana 2-5, 2R, 2B
• 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.

DSL Nationals 6 DSL Blue Jays 5
• R. Lara 2⅓ IP, 3H, 4R, 4ER, 2BB, 6K, HR, 2WP

The D-Nats rallied from deficits of 4-0 and 5-4 to tie and win in the 9th, 6-5 over the D-Jays. Randy Lara got the start but was pummeled for four runs on three hits (one HR) and two walks over two and a 1/3 innings. He struck out six. Doimil Perez picked up the win with a scoreless 9th. Crithian Vaquero singled twice, walked, and drove in two while Jenier Fernandez walked, doubled, and drove in a run to pace the D-Nats attack.
