The IronBirds strafed the Blue Rocks for three in the 1st and cruised to a 6-1 win in the opener.

Brady House homered for the second time in as many games to break up the shutout in the 3rd and also singled. Will Frizzell tripled and Jeter Downs doubled as Wilmington tallied just five hits.

Kyle Luckham* started and gave up all four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out one over four and 2/3rds. Carlos Romero stranded three while getting out of the 5th and Tyler Schoff stranded two finishng the 7th. The two combined for three and a 1/3rd scoreless innings with Schoff getting the win with a 1-2-3 eighth.

Columbia 3 Fredericksburg 2
• Lord 5IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 5K

• Witt 2-4, R, 2B, HR, RBI
• Lawson 2-4, 2B, RBI

Back-to-back balks by Marquis Grissom Jr. in the 9th sent Fredericksburg to its second 3-2 walkoff loss this series and third straight overall. Grissom gave up the final run on a walk after working around two hits in the 8th. Brad Lord started and went the first five innings, allowing one run on three hits an no walks while striking out five. Paul Witt doubled and homered while Cortland Lawson singled and doubled in the second FredNats run to lead the six-hit effort.

FCL Marlins 18 FCL Nationals 2
• Zapata 4IP, 4H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 3K
• Luis (L, 1-3) 1⅔ IP, 5H, 4R, 4ER, 3BB, 1K
• Fox 2-2, R, BB, 2B
• Cox 1-4, 2B

Believe it or not, the F-Nats actually led this 2-1 after 3½ innings before the F-Marlins effed up the ‘pen for 17 unanswered runs in an 18-2 bitch-slapping. Genderson Zapata got the start and allowed one unearned run on four hits and a walk over four innings. Andy Luis “worked on some things” for 13 batters and got five of them out. Four of the eight baserunners he put on came around to score in his third loss of the season. Lucius Fox toyed with the FCL Marlins pitchers for a single, double, and a walk as the DH, which is a shame because had he been in the field, odds are pretty good the F-Nats wouldn’t have committed six (6) errors. Roster moves: Zion Pettigrew reassigned from Fredericksburg.

DSL Nationals 2 DSL Mariners 0
