Jared McKenzie homered in his FredNat debut, James Wood had four more hits across two games, and the FredNats split tonight’s doubleheader with Augusta, winning 8-2 in game one and losing 8-7 in game two.
Branden Boissiere had the 8th and final RBI for the FredNats in the middle innings. Fredericksburg got a strong start from Jose Atencio, who earned his second win with the team after pitching five shutout innings with no walks and seven strikeouts. Augusta pushed across a couple runs late for the 8-2 final. Jacob Young reached four times in the game and scored his 90th run of the season, second in professional baseball to only Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees.
In game two, it was all GreenJackets in the beginning. Augusta scored the first four runs of the game off FredNat starter Karlo Seijas – three of them unearned. The FredNats pushed across a run in the bottom of the 3rd inning when Cortland Lawson walked and ended up scoring on a stolen base by Young.
The FredNats didn’t record their first hit of game two until the 4th inning when Trey Lipscomb tripled. He now has an extra base hit in each of his first two games with the team.
The GreenJackets got two in the 6th and two in the 7th to have just enough offense to hold on. Wood doubled in a run in the 6th to make it a 6-2 game, and then Lipscomb drove him in with an infield single to make it 6-3. It was an 8-3 going to the bottom of the 7th and final frame, and the FredNats rallied for four runs in the 7th, but left the tying run on third base.
Wood had a two-run double in the 7th as well to finish with three RBIs and three hits in the game, and Christopher De La Cruz and Boissiere had the other RBIs in the frame.
The FredNats maintain their 5.5-game lead in the Carolina League North Division going into the weekend. It’s another Firework Friday tonight at Virginia Credit Union Stadium with RHP Jackson Rutledge on the mound for a 7:05 first pitch.
