Potomac-Wilmington (3rd Inning): Burgess leads things off for Potomac with ground rule double to right field. That is Burgess second hit of the series, and his second double. He now owns the first hit of the game. Jon Solano lays down a successful sacrifice bunt to move Michael Burgess to third. Boomer Whiting is next, who replaces Plasencia in the lineup, is one of the heros for the P-Nats in the first two games. Whiting lines one out to left field, allowing Burgess to beat out the throw to put the P-Nats up by 1. P-Nats take first blood! Martinez strikes out, Teaford has now ended each inning with a Potomac strikeout.
Detwiler pitched 17 in the second inning, to give him 45 total so far (28 in the first). Detwiler strikes out Cody Strait for his second strikeout of the night. With a full count to Pat Correll, Detwiler induces a pop fly for out #2. Jeff Bianchi, who walked his first time, has the reverse fate this time as he watches a called strike three sail by. Detwiler's 3rd strikeout to go with his 3 walks (as many walks as the entire Potomac staff has let up in the 25 innings that have comprised the series so far).
I doubt that Detwiler will make it past 5 innings. If he can hold the Blue Rocks for another two innings and Potomac can get at least one more run, then I think the relievers could keep the team on track for the sweep.
P-Nats 1, Wilmington 0
