P-Nats even series
The Frederick Keys held the Potomac Nationals’ offense in check for seven innings, and stood six outs away from the Carolina League championship series. But Potomac rallied for six runs in the eighth and came from behind for a 6-1 win that sent the Northern Division Series to a deciding Game Five Monday in Frederick.
Ryohei Tanaka kept the Nationals at bay for six innings; he allowed just two hits and departed with Frederick in front 1-0. Justin Moore retired the Nationals in the seventh, but hit a wall in the eighth.
Eury Perez bounced a single on the infield to start the inning before Francisco Soriano walked. Jeff Kobernus squared to bunt, and was hit by a pitch on the right wrist to load the bases. With the infield drawn in, Destin Hood bounced a single through the middle into centerfield to give the Nationals the lead. Jose Lozada then singled two home, and a Zach Walters triple to right field made it 6-1.
Adam Olbrychowski kept the Nationals in the game with an outstanding start. He went five and a third innings, allowed just one run on six hits and struck out five. The Keys only run came in the fourth, when Brian Ward singled home Mike Flacco.
Neil Holland, Joe Testa and Cameron Selik kept it a 1-0 ball game before the offense went to work in the eighth.
Hector Nelo came on in the ninth. He allowed a one-out double to Ward but retired Glynn Davis and Bobby Stevens to wrap up the win.
Game Five is set for 7 P.M. in Frederick on Monday night.
P-Nats fall to Keys, trail 2-1 in playoff series
The Frederick Keys held the Potomac Nationals to just three hits on Saturday night in Woodbridge in a 5-1 victory that pushed them one win away from the Mills Cup Championship Series. Scott Copeland was in command for seven outstanding innings, the middle of the Keys’ order shone, and Potomac was held without a hit after the fourth inning in the Game 3 loss.
For the first time in the series, Frederick took the first lead of the ballgame. Fittingly, Jonathan Schoop and Manny Machado were right in the middle of the opening rally. With one out, Schoop singled off Nationals’ starter Evan Bronson. Machado then doubled him home with a laser down the right field line to put the Keys ahead 1-0.
Potomac, held to two infield singles in the first three innings, tied the game with a ball hit decidedly out of the infield. Destin Hood hit an impressive home run to right field that knotted the score at one.
That would be the Nationals’ last hit.
The Keys – led by Schoop, Machado and Aaron Baker – kept on coming. In the fifth, Schoop doubled with one out. Machado brought him home with a sharp single to right field, and would score on a Baker double to deep left-center.
Bobby Stevens led off the sixth with a single. After Dale Mollenhauer grounded out, Schoop walked. Machado hit a hard line drive to third base that was dropped by Jose Lozada. It deflected off his glove and into the corner by the left field bullpen, and allowed Bobby Stevens to score from second. Baker then hit a sacrifice fly to right to plate Schoop, make it 5-1 and close out the scoring.
Copeland retired 11 of the last 12 Nationals batters he faced; his lone miscue was a pitch that hit Steven Souza in the seventh.
Ryan Berry pitched a perfect eighth and ninth to push the Keys to the brink of the Championship Series against the Kinston Indians. Kinston defeated Myrtle Beach 9-2 to close out the Southern Division Series.
The Nationals turn to Adam Olbrychowski in Sunday’s elimination game. Ryohei Tanaka takes the mound for the Keys at 1:05 P.M.
P-Nats even playoff series
The Potomac Nationals used a pair of early two-out rallies in Game 2 on Friday night to stake Sammy Solis to a lead. The lefthander and a trio of bullpen arms had no intention of relinquishing it, and the Nationals cruised to an 8-0 win that leveled the Northern Division Series at one game apiece.
In the first inning, Keys starter Rick Zagone got the first two outs without incident. But Destin Hood then worked a spectacular 12-pitch walk to extend the inning for Brian Peacock. Peacock then blasted a home run to straightaway center field that put Potomac ahead 2-0.
After Solis struck out a pair in the first inning, the Nationals went to work again in the second – and again, they did so with two outs. Jose Lozada drew a walk and Eury Perez singled down the right field line. Francisco Soriano then belted a 2-2 breaking ball over the wall in left field that staked Potomac to a 5-0 advantage.
Solis allowed just one hit in each of the next four innings, and struck out five more for a total of seven punchouts. But a tight strike zone ran his pitch count to 91, and after a two-out walk of Jonathan Schoop put runners at the corners in the fifth, Solis was lifted for Neil Holland. Holland struck out Manny Machado to end the threat.
Holland pitched two and a third scoreless innings; Joe Testa and Cameron Selik followed and preserved the shutout.
Potomac tacked ons single runs in the fourth, seventh and ninth innings – and all of them were scored by Perez. After reaching on a fielder’s choice in the fourth, Perez advanced to second on a wild pitch, to third on an error by Keys catcher Brian Ward, and scored on yet another wild Ryan O’Shea offering. In the seventh, Destin Hood plated Perez with a two-out single. Soriano’s double brought Perez home in the ninth.
Game 3 is set for 6:35 P.M. at Pfitzner Stadium in Woodbridge. Evan Bronson takes the mound for the Nationals against the veteran righthander Ryohei Tanaka.
P-Nats lose rain-shortened Game One
With the Frederick Keys batting in the bottom of the sixth inning and leading 5-1, play was suspended at Harry Grove Stadium. With torrential rain falling and more predicted through the night, the game was called and the Keys had a rain-shortened victory to open the Northern Division Series.
Potomac surged to an early lead on Steven Souza’s solo home run in the second inning. Paul Demny, the Nationals starter, was steady in the first two innings and worked around trouble in the third, inducing a double play to escape a double and a walk.
In the bottom of the fourth, Demny appeared to make another pitch that would get him out of a jam. With one out, Jacob Julius hit a hard one-hopper to second base, but the ball was bobbled by Jeff Kobernus. The split second prevented the Nationals from turning the double play – and that proved costly. Miguel Abreu blasted a three-run homer to left field that gave the Keys a lead they would not relinquish. Brian Ward then followed with a back-to-back homer that put Frederick ahead 4-1.
Keys starter Jake Pettit was fantastic and earned his third win against Potomac in 2011. Other than the homer to Souza, Pettit allowed just two other hits, struck out four and retired Potomac twice in order.
Abreu struck again in the sixth and final inning. With one out, Demny allowed a single to Jacob Julius and Demny was sent to the clubhouse. Rob Wort came on, and Julius stole second base. Abreu then singled to left to score Julius and put Frederick in front, 5-1. Wort then struck out Ward, but walked Bobby Stevens and Dale Mollenhauer to load the bases.
With two outs and a 2-1 count to Jonathan Schoop, the rain became too heavy to continue, and play was called. A driving rain continued through the night and forced the game to be finalized.
Game Two is scheduled for Thursday in Frederick. Potomac will send Sammy Solis to the mound against lefthander Rick Zagone at 7:05 P.M.
P-Nats clinch second half
The Potomac Nationals used a six-run eighth inning to defeat the Kinston Indians 8-4 and secure a tie for the second half title in the Carolina League’s Northern Division in Monday’s regular season finale. The Nationals wrapped up the second half with a 39-31 record and will face the Frederick Keys in the Divisional Playoffs beginning Wednesday at Harry Grove Stadium.
Season finales will often feature some bizarre sights, and the Labor Day contest at Pfitzner Stadium was no different. Relief pitcher Cody Allen drove in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning with his first professional hit and scored later in the inning to put Kinston ahead 4-2.
But a key error by Jose Flores – making his first appearance since returning from the disabled list – in the eighth inning led to six unearned Potomac runs that put the game away. After a leadoff double by Cutter Dykstra, Flores walked Francisco Soriano. Jeff Kobernus then sacrificed back to the mound; Flores bobbled, Kobernus was safe and the Nationals were in business. Destin Hood then hit a bullet to third that was caught by Adam Abraham, who doubled off Dykstra at third. Without the error, the inning would have been over.
But five straight hits, including three two-out doubles, plated six runs for Potomac and set the table for the series-salvaging win.
Kinston took a brief lead in the first inning. Bo Greenwell and Abraham singled with one out, and Jeremie Tice scored Greenwell with a sacrifice fly to right.
The Nats took the lead back in their half of the first. Brian Peaock’s single scored Jeff Kobernus, who had singled and stolen his 53rd base. Peacock then stole second base, and Roberto Perez’s throw sailed into center field to score Hood and put Potomac ahead.
Casey Frawley was removed from the game in the second inning. Abraham – the designated hitter – was moved to third, Tyler Cannon took over at second, and the Indians forfeited their D.H. spot.
Allen came on in relief of Mike Rayl in the fourth inning and overpowered Potomac on the mound. In three runs he allowed just one hit – and then did some damage with the bat. In the sixth, Tice doubled with one and moved to third on Cannon’s single.
Allen then came to the plate with two on and one out. Tice scored on a wild pitch to tie the game, and Allen’s single to center past a drawn-in infield pushed Kinston ahead. They held the lead until the fateful eighth.
Hector Nelo got the final three outs of the game to close down the regular season in front of 2,209 hearty fans at Pfitzner Stadium, who withstood sporadic drizzle throughout the ballgame.
On Wednesday, the P-Nats begin their quest to repeat as Mills Cup Champions in Frederick. Game One at Harry Grove Stadium begins at 7:05 P.M. The pregame show for the broadcast can be heard beginning at 6:20.
P-Nats complete sweep of ‘Cats
The Potomac Nationals lead the Carolina League in stolen bases, and it showed on Friday night as they swiped nine bags en route to a 7-3 win over the Hillcats at City Stadium.
The Nationals scored in the first inning. Jeff Kobernus had an infield single. He then stole second and third. When he stole third, catcher Shawn McGill’s throw went into left field, and Kobernus trotted home to give the Nationals the early lead.
Potomac scored more conventionally in the second inning. Zach Walters doubled out to left field, and Sandy Leon followed behind him a with a single to put the Nationals up 2-0.
The Hillcats struck back in the bottom of the second. Joe Leonard singled to lead off the inning. Keenan Wiley struck out, but Shawn McGill singled. Ryan Query knocked a single to right field to score Leonard and cut the lead to 2-1.
The Hillcats took their first lead since Tuesday in the fourth inning. With two outs, McGill hit a grounder to third. Jose Lozada threw the ball across the infield high, which pulled Steven Souza off the base. Query followed with a live drive down the right field line that rolled all the way to the corner. McGill came around to score on the hit, and Query slid into third with a triple. With L.V. Ware at the plate, Query was able to score on a wild pitch by Nationals starter Sammy Solis, and the Hillcats led 3-2.
Things went downhill for the Hillcats from there. The Nationals retook the lead in the top of the sixth inning. Jeff Kobernus walked, stole two bases, and scored on a wild pitch by Hillcats starter Corey Brewer to tie the game. Justin Bloxom also scored in the inning on an RBI single by Zach Walters, and the Nationals went ahead 4-3.
Reliever Jeremy Haynes gave up two unearned runs in the seventh inning, after he made an errant throw early in the inning. Two runs came across to score, and the Nationals led 6-3. They added one more in the eighth, and despite the Hillcats threatening in the ninth, held on to the 7-3 win.
The Hillcats gave up nine stolen bases in the game, and 21 in the series. It was the first time all season that Lynchburg had been swept in a four-game series.

Moore vexes Tides again
One night after defeating the best pitcher in the International League, the Norfolk Tides were stopped in their tracks by another top-level pitcher Friday night at Harbor Park as they fell to the Durham Bulls 4-1 in front of 6,611 fans.
Matt Moore (4-0, 1.37) won his 10th straight decision, dating back to May 15 when he lost a Double-A start with Montgomery, by defeating the Tides for the second time in 11 days. He allowed just one run on four hits in 6.0 innings and struck out 10 batters, his sixth double-digit strikeout performance in 27 total starts this season.
Brandon Snyder put the lone blemish on Moore’s night, driving in Josh Bell with a double in the 4th inning that made the score 4-1.
Chris Tillman (3-6, 5.19) took the loss after allowing four runs in 5.0 innings. He allowed just five hits and struck out four batters, but it was four walks that hurt him.
Tillman’s first walk came with two outs in the 1st inning, and Dan Johnson made him pay by crushing a two-run homer into the Tides bullpen that gave Durham an early lead. The righthander didn’t issue his second walk until the 4th inning, but once again the Bulls were able to plate a run off the base on balls when Leslie Anderson hammered a run-scoring double to straight-away center field.
Rob Delaney picked up his 13th save by tossing a perfect 9th inning.
Tim Beckham also added an RBI for the Bulls.
Wynn Pelzer tossed 3.0 scoreless innings and Nick Bierbrodt added a scoreless 9th inning for the Tides.
The win gave the Bulls their 5th-straight South Division Championship.
The Tides paid tribute to the servicemembers killed in the August 6th plane crash in Afghanistan with a pre-game ceremony. Players and coaches wore special camouflage uniforms with names of the servicemembers on their back. The game-worn jerseys were presented to the families of the servicemembers following the game.
The Tides and Bulls will continue their four-game series Saturday night at 7:15. RH Mitch Atkins (3-7, 5.20) will take the ball for the Tides opposite LH Alex Torres (9-7, 3.14). It will be fan appreciation night at Harbor Park as thousands of prizes will be given away to fans throughout the game. A spectacular fireworks show will follow the game.
P-Nats roll in Lynchburg
The Potomac Nationals continued their winning ways on Thursday in Lynchburg. Led by an outstanding start by Paul Demny, the P-Nats surged to an early lead and never looked back, taking their third straight game over the Hillcats. With the win and Frederick’s loss in Kinston, the Nationals move within half a game of the Keys for the second half title in the Northern Division.
Destin Hood drove in Cutter Dykstra in the top of the first inning to stake the Nationals to a lead they would never relinquish. Dykstra singled to open the game, and in the same stadium where his father stole 103 bases in 1983, swiped a pair of bases to move to third base with one out before Hood knocked him in.
Demny encountered his only difficulty in the first. A pair of softly hit infield singles opened the inning against the righthander. But a made-to-order double play helped Demny escape unscathed. From there, he locked in and dominated. Over the next six innings, he allowed just three more hits, all of which were ground balls and only one of which left the infield. Demny struck out six and walked one to earn his tenth win.
Zach Walters continued his offensive surge with a double to lead off the second inning. Walters, who had three hits on the evening, scored the first of his two runs when Sean Nicol singled to left with two outs. Eury Perez then laced a single to center to push Potomac in front 3-0.
Potomac added single runs in the sixth and eighth innings. In the sixth, Brian Peacock singled and stole second base. He scored on Sandy Leon’s RBI single to right field. Leon struck again with a sacrifice fly in the eighth that scored Walters and made it 5-0.
On the night, Potomac stole a season high six bases to run their 2011 total to 199.
The Nationals were one out away from their fifth shutout of the season. But Shawn McGill hit a towering home run to left field to give Lynchburg its only run of the game with two outs in the ninth.
Potomac looks for a four-game sweep on Friday with Sammy Solis on the mound against Caleb Brewer at 7:05. The P-Nats return to Woodbridge on Saturday for the final regular season series of the year, a four-game set with the Kinston Indians. On Saturday the Nationals will raffle off a new car to a lucky fan and fire off the last Fireworks extravaganza of the year.

P-Nats rally past ‘Cats
Despite Barrett Kleinknecht hitting a home run for the third time in the homestand, the Hillcats could not overcome four unearned runs in the eighth inning and fell 6-3 to the Potomac Nationals Wednesday night.
The Nationals got a spark with two outs in the third inning to score the first run. After starter David Hale pitched the first two and two-thirds innings without giving up a hit, he gave up three in a row, including an RBI single by Destin Hood, and Potomac took a 1-0 lead.
Barrett Kleinknecht continued his hot homestand in the third. With two outs, he hit a solo home run to left-center, tying the game at one. It was his third home run in four nights.
Starter David Hale pitched very well for the Hillcats. Hale pitched six innings, giving up just one run and striking out a career-high nine batters.
The pivotal play in the game came in the top of the eighth. With two outs and runners on second and third, Sean Nicol hit a grounder to Andrelton Simmons at short.

Gomez’ 8 RBI drops Tides
The Norfolk Tides had no answers for Mauro Gomez during Wednesday night’s 11-2 loss to the Gwinnett Braves at Harbor Park. . The game was a continuation from the July 25 suspended game and had an announced crowd of 3,960.
The Braves first baseman had an historic night, homering twice and driving in eight runs, the most any opponent has ever recorded against the Tides. He did it with a grand slam, a solo home run and a three-run triple.
Of all the hits, it was his bases-clearing triple in the 7th inning that proved to be the biggest one. It came moments after Stefan Gartrell tied the game at 2-2 with the Braves fourth-straight single, and it gave his team their first lead of the night.
Pitching with a 2-1 lead, Cole McCurry fell into trouble after getting the first out in the 7th inning. The lefthander, who took the mound when play resumed with one out in the 5th inning, allowed four-straight singles as the visitors moved from station-to-station on each base hit. Gartrell capped the singles rally with an RBI knock to left field that tied the contest at 2-2. Gomez followed with his bases-clearing triple that put the Braves ahead for good.
McCurry (2-2, 5.21) took the loss after being charged with six runs on eight hits in 2.2 innings.
Gomez wasn’t finished, though. The Gwinnett slugger came to bat in the 8th inning with the bases juiced again and drove a Nick Bierbrodt offering deep into the Tides bullpen to give his team a commanding 11-2 lead. It was the second home run of the game for Gomez, who hit a solo shot in the 4th inning to tie the game at 1-1 before play was suspended.
The Tides took a 2-1 lead after play resumed without the benefit of a hit. Felix Pie drew a walk, and then showcased his speed by stealing second and third base before trotting home after Diory Hernandez mishandled Wil Nieves’s throw to third base on the stolen base attempt.
The Tides got on the board first with an RBI single from Jake Fox that scored Matt Angle.
Brandon Hicks added a solo home run in the 7th inning.
Jaye Chapman (2-1, 2.35) picked up the win despite allowing the Tides to take their brief lead in the 6th inning. The reliever allowed a run on one hit but was the pitcher of record when the Braves bats exploded in the 7th inning. He struck out three batters in 1.0 inning on the mound.
Jerry Keller (1981), Mike Figga (1997) and Michael Coleman (1999) previously held the record for most RBI in a game against the Tides with seven.
The Braves and Tides are scheduled to play a seven-inning contest tonight as well.
Tides can’t make early lead stand up
The Norfolk Tides couldn’t make an early lead stick Tuesday night at Harbor Park and fell 8-6 to the Charlotte Knights in front of 4,362 fans.
Playing to a 4-2 lead after six innings, the Tides surrendered two runs in each of the last three innings. Steve Johnson, who had pitched brilliantly through 6.0 innings, ran into trouble in the 7th frame when he allowed consecutive hits to lead off the inning. Andrew Garcia cut the deficit in half with a sacrifice fly that scored Jordan Danks and ended the night for Johnson. Wynn Pelzer came on in relief and recorded one out before surrendering an RBI single to Eduardo Escobar that tied the game.
Pelzer (0-1, 3.52) remained in the game to start the 8th inning but wasn’t effective. After allowing a leadoff single to Jared Price, the reliever issued two one-out walks before serving up a go-ahead, two-run single to Danks.
The Tides jumped ahead early off Charlotte Knights starter Phil Humber, who was pitching on a Major League rehab assignment. Josh Bell got the Tides on the board with a two-run homer in the 1st inning and later added an RBI single in the 3rd inning to make it 3-0. Brandon Snyder followed with an RBI single that scored Bell.
Humber settled down to last 5.0 innings and allowed just the four runs on seven hits but didn’t factor into the decision. The White Sox starter struck out five batters and walked just one.
The Knights chipped away at the Tides lead, adding a run in the 4th and 6th inning. Dallas McPherson put his team on the board with a towering home run to right field. Lastings Milledge inched the visitors closer with a two-out RBI single in the 6th.
Johnson was charged with all four runs (three earned). He allowed seven hits on the night in 6.1 innings.
Wes Whisler (3-2, 8.15) picked up the win by tossing 2.0 scoreless innings. Shane Lindsay gave up one run, a two-out RBI double Rhyne Hughes, in 1.0 inning to earn his fourth save of the year.
The Knights put up two runs in the 9th inning. Jim Gallagher added an RBI single while McPherson came around to score on an errant pickoff attempt.
Brendan Harris added a sacrifice fly in the 8th inning for the Tides.
The Harbor Park lights went out with two outs in the 9th inning and Brandon Snyder at the plate. Snyder, who represented the tying run, was batting with a 3-2 count at the time. He struck out on the first pitch he saw after the 16 minute delay.
The Tides will welcome Gwinnett to Harbor Park Wednesday for the start of a two-game set. The two clubs will pick up their suspended game from July 25. That game was suspended due to rain just before the start of the 5th inning with the score tied 1-1. The regularly-scheduled game will follow its conclusion and last seven innings. RH Rick VandenHurk (9-13, 4.43) will pitch the regularly scheduled game opposite RH Randall Delgado (2-2, 4.15). Pitchers for the suspended game have not been announced.
Late homer dooms Tides
Mitch Atkins made one mistake Monday night at Harbor Park, and it cost the Norfolk Tides as they fell to the Charlotte Knights 4-3 in front of 3,654 fans.
Pitching with a 3-2 lead in the 7th inning, Atkins (3-7, 5.20) gave up a two-out, two-run home run to Gookie Dawkins that proved to be the difference in the game. Atkins had been cruising at that point, striking out 10 of the previous 16 batters he faced prior to the inning. He finished the game with a season-high 11 strikeouts while walking just one batter.
The Tides took the lead a half inning prior on an RBI single from Felix Pie that found its way into the outfield after going under the glove of three different infielders, including pitcher Gregory Infante. The single plated Tyler Henson who had led off the 6th inning with a double.
Infante (1-4, 3.30) tossed 2.0 innings and allowed just the one run on three hits. He picked up the win in relief of Joe Serafin who gave up two runs on seven hits in 5.0 innings after being staked to an early 2-0 lead.
The Knights scored twice on Atkins in the 1st frame before the Tides starter locked in. Justin Greene led off the game with a single to left field and moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt. Following a one-out walk, Dallas McPherson put Charlotte on the board with an RBI groundout that Atkins took himself. The Knights scored their second run on a throwing error by Blake Davis at shortstop that allowed Jim Gallagher to score from second base.
The Tides came back with two runs in the 5th inning to tie the contest. Kyle Hudson started things for the home team with a single and moved to second base on a walk by Pie. Brandon Snyder came through with an RBI single that cut the deficit in half and Rhyne Hughes tied it up with an RBI single that deflected off Serafin’s glove and scored Pie from third base.
Addison Reed picked up his second save with two scoreless innings. He allowed one hit while striking out one.
The Tides got 2.0 scoreless innings from Clay Rapada and Jeremy Accardo. Each pitcher gave up a hit while Accardo walked two and struck out three.
The Tides and Knights will close out their 2011 season series Tuesday at 7:15. RH Steve Johnson (2-6, 5.79) will take the hill for the Tides opposite RH Phil Humber (0-0, N/A) who will be making a Major League rehab start for Charlotte.
