Nationals Defeat Mudcats in 10
The Potomac Nationals did just enough to secure a victory over the Carolina Mudcats, 5-4, in 10 innings at Grainger Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Francisco Valdez. With the win, Potomac pushed its record to 25-22.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Alan Brulhart came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Carolina pitcher Kerry Moubray, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Potomac on top, 4-3.

"It was terrific getting this win," Valdez said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
