Late Rally by Nationals Locks Up 2-1 Win
The inspired effort of FCL left fielder Steve Walsh was not enough to prevent a loss, 2-1, to the FCL Nationals. Walsh was 2 for 3 with a double and a walk. Álex Espinal claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 4 hits in 2.2 innings. His record stands at 1-0. The Nationals sport a record of 17-27.

FCL used the timely hitting of Dave Matthews to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Nationals on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We had the right guys up at the right times," said FCL manager Shane Greene. "We just didn't cash in."
