Nationals Prevail, 5-3, Over Wilmington
The Potomac Nationals picked up a win at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium, knocking off the Wilmington Blue Rocks, 5-3. Starting pitcher Francisco Valdez was a big reason why. Valdez got the win, improving to 3-1. He gave up 10 hits and walked 1 over 7.2 innings. He allowed 3 runs. The Nationals sit in second place in the Northern Division with a record of 16-17.

Had Bobby Brancati delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Brancati struck out. The score remained 4-3, Potomac, and the Nationals were out of the jam.
