Wilmington-Potomac (bottom of the 13th):  Solano hits a chopper to the SS, the throw to first is off, but the firstbaseman is still able to apply the tag.  Lyons lines one to leftfielder Ramon Ortiz for out #2.  Martinez, who has struck out in his last two at-bats, puts a great at-bat forward, fouling three balls off and finally hits one to right field for a single.  With the game winner aboard, Andrew Lefave approaches the plate.  Will he provide the game winning RBI? 

Martinez steals second base as the ball hops past the second baseman, runner now in scoring position for Lefave.  Lefave fails to come through, and grounds out to first.  This sucker is going into the 14th!

This game is going to put a lot of pressure on tomorrow night's starters to go deep in the game.  I never thought that this game would go longer than the Nats game, but it looks like it will.  I will continue to provide updates in this thread until the completion of the Potomac game, even if the Nats game finishes first.
