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.
