FredNats win Salem thriller, one back of division lead

Fredericksburg Nationals

The Fredericksburg Nationals won an extra-inning thriller for the second time in as many games Tuesday at Carillion Clinic Field. Vandel Pena scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the tenth inning to help the FredNats to an 8-7 victory.

The win comes at a critical time for the FredNats, who gained a game on Salem, Lynchburg and division-leading Carolina. The FredNats, Red Sox and Hillcats are now all tied for second in the Carolina League North. All three teams are one game behind the Mudcats with two games to go in the first half. The FredNats own the head-to-head tiebreaker vs. Carolina and Lynchburg and will own the tiebreaker vs. Salem with a win tomorrow or Thursday. The FredNats also won in extras Sunday at Myrtle Beach.

Andry Lara got the start for Fredericksburg and allowed three runs in the first inning. He settled down though and allowed just one run in the next five innings. He threw a career-high 100 pitches and received a no-decision. Andrew Alvarez (3-4) earned the win for Fredericksburg. Riggs Threadgill picked up his first save by leaving the designated runner on second to end the game in the tenth.
