Riley Maddox was brilliant for seven shutout innings. Liam Sullivan was brilliant for eight pitches, getting two entire outs before losing the shutout with two out in the 8th on solo HR. In the 9th, the Renegades retrieved their bounty from the hapless southpaw, scoring seven times on four hits – including a three-run HR to walk off Wilmington, 8-5. Sullivan got the blown-save-loss while Maddox got bupkis. Jacob Walsh homered again as did Ronny Cruz as the two combined for three hits, three RBI, and three runs scored to lead the Blue Rocks offense.

Fredericksburg’s losing streak extended to five games with another bullpen collapse in an 11-4 loss to Fayetteville. R.J. Sales labored through two innings, allowing a run on hit batsman, a steal, a wild pitch, and a RBI single in the 1st and striking out four on 39 pitches. Noah Millikan was pounded again (16R in August, 20 overall in 4G), this time for five runs on five hits and three walks. Avery Ortiz’s Earl Weaver Special for his first pro homer briefly gave the FredNats a 4-3 lead while Gavin Fien singled twice and scored a run but the offense was held in check over the last five innings.
