The fireworks started early in Fredericksburg, with both Development Coach Carmelo Jaime and Manager Jake Lowery and getting tossed and Jaime channeling Butch Hobson (pictured above) in the 6th. After order was restored, the FredNats erased a 1-0 deficit to go up 2-1 and got four scoreless innings to prevail by the same score.

Riley Cornelio went the first five, allowing the Fireflies run on two hits and three walks while striking out six. Jose Atencio and Tyler Yankosky both issued a walk while pitching two no-hit innings to earn the win and save, respectively. Daylen Lile getting picked off for the second out of the 6th led to the ejections, but four straight singles by Paul Witt, Brady House, Sammy Infante, and Elijah Green plated the tying and go-ahead runs with Infante and Green each collecting an RBI. The win stopped a three-game slide.
