Freddies Defeated in Series Finale 10-4

FREDERICKSBURG, VA - Down East pulled away late to win the series finale over the FredNats 10-4, but FXBG won the series with four wins on the week. The Nats are 2-1 in the second half (37-32), and Down East is 1-2 (36-32).

Brandon Pimentel singled and Roismar Quintana walked with two outs, before Marcus Brown blasted a three-run homer over the right field wall, putting the FredNats up 3-2.

Seth Shuman held on to that lead through three innings, then Travis Sthele entered in the fourth inning. Marcos Smith tied the game with one out, on a solo home run, then Devin Hurdle continued the frame with a triple. Echedy Vargas then rolled a ball to third base that was badly misplayed, with two separate errors allowing Vargas to circle the bases for a two-run Little League home run

Elijah Green trimmed the deficit to 5-4 with a two-out RBI single in the sixth, but Down East tacked on a run in the eighth and four more in the ninth inning to win 10-4. Kolton Curtis (3-3) earned the win, and Travis Sthele (1-6) was handed the loss.
