A four-error, nine-run third inning was the centerpiece of Fredericksburg’s 13-2 loss at the hands of the Delmarva Shorebirds on Saturday night, the 11th loss in a row for the struggling FredNats to start the 2021 season.
The FredNats (0-11) managed only one hit against the Shorebirds (8-3), who won their fifth consecutive game.
Leif Strom (L, 0-3) allowed single runs in the first and second, thanks to an RBI double from Gunnar Henderson and a solo homer from Ramon Rodriguez. Henderson finished 3-for-5 with 4 RBI, giving him 13 RBI through the first five games in the series.

Tuesday evening was a long time coming for the Fredericksburg Nationals, as they finally played their first game in FredNats Ballpark in front of a sellout crowd.
Despite the home-field advantage and an early lead, the FredNats dropped their home opener 7-5 to the Delmarva Shorebirds.
The eagerly anticipated matchup marks the first of 60 home games scheduled in Fredericksburg this summer. The FredNats (0-7) and Shorebirds (4-3) play five more times through Sunday, and a total of 36 times this season.
