A season-high eight run outburst from the Fredericksburg Nationals was not enough to take Sunday’s series finale against Salem, as the Red Sox scored 14 runs of their own in a 14-8 final.
The FredNats established high water marks in both runs and hits, and briefly led in the early innings. Once the game turned to the bullpen, however, the Red Sox cruised to their fifth victory in the six-game set.

Mitchell Parker led a strong pitching effort for the Fredericksburg Nationals on Thursday night, but it wasn’t enough to secure the club’s first victory in a 7-3 loss to the Delmarva Shorebirds.
Parker (0-1) fanned eight batters in 3.2 innings as part of a 19-strikeout performance for the FredNats (0-9) staff. The Shorebirds were even better, as Shane Davis and Jake Prizina (W, 2-0) combined to toss 7.0 innings of two-run ball.
