Nationals Throttled by Blue Rocks, 5-1
Wilmington pitcher Frank Rivera did his part in helping his team beat the Potomac Nationals, 5-1. The left-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. The Nationals, now 7-20, continue their inauspicious start.

The Blue Rocks got a big at-bat from left fielder Toby Thigpen. For the game, Thigpen was 1 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 3rd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 6th home run of the season gave Wilmington a 2-0 lead.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Rivera. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
