BOWIE, MD — The Harrisburg Senators mounted a dramatic comeback with a three-run eighth inning, but the Chesapeake Baysox answered in the ninth with a walk-off sacrifice fly to hand Harrisburg a 4–3 loss Saturday night.

Daily Report From Fredericksburg:

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — With a dominant 5–0 shutout of the Carolina Mudcats on Saturday night at Virginia Credit Union Stadium, the Fredericksburg Nationals secured a winning record for the 2025 season.

Right-hander R.J. Sales led the charge with five scoreless innings in his sixth start since the All-Star break. Sales struck out eight batters, one shy of his career high, and recorded at least one strikeout in every inning, including striking out the side in the third.

The Fred-Nats took an early lead in the second inning. After two quick outs, Luke Dickerson drew a walk and Angel Feliz followed with a two-run homer into the visitors’ bullpen in right field, giving Fredericksburg a 2–0 advantage.

They added three more runs in the fifth inning, capitalizing on a Mudcats error and an RBI single from Brenner Cox. Despite collecting only three total hits, the FredNats made them count.

The bullpen took over from there, with four relievers combining to preserve the shutout and close out the win.

The victory guarantees that the FredNats will finish the regular season above .500 and enter the 2025 Carolina League Playoffs with momentum.

The Fred-Nats end the regular season Sunday afternoon. Brayan Romero will pitch for the Fred-Nats against Carolina’s Carlos Carra. First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m. EDT.
