Nationals Raise Rally Flag, Beat Salem, 6-2
The Salem Red Sox could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Cedric Callahan into a win. Instead, the Potomac Nationals prevailed, 6-2. Callahan threw 5.0 innings of 2-hit ball. Jesús Valdéz notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. His record now sits at 1-0. Potomac, with the win, sits at 11-24.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Mike Ludwick? The 26-year old catcher Ludwick stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put Potomac up, 4-2. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Ludwick.
