The bullpen meltdown took away a possible win from Jake Bennett (pictured), who spun five innings of one-run ball while scattering seven hits, walking one, and fanning two.
Sam Petersen and Ethan Petry once again manned the corners of the outfield. Petersen singled, doubled, and drove in a run in five trips to the plate. Petry went 1-for-5. The two combined to strike out four times.
Jared Simpson rounded out the foursome of Nats in the game. The 25-y.o. let in one of two inherited runners but put up two goose eggs while allowing a hit, walking none, and striking out two.
The Scorpions (15-6) remain home to close out the week as they host the Rafters (8-13).
