Despite a dominant start from Rodney Theophile, the Fredericksburg Nationals lost their series finale 8-3 at the hands of the Delmarva Shorebirds on Sunday afternoon.
Theophile allowed only one hit over 4.0 scoreless innings, but the Shorebirds attacked Bryan Peña (L, 1-2) in a six-run sixth inning that sent the FredNats to their fifth loss in six games.
Though Fredericksburg had plenty of opportunities, they left the bases loaded in back-to-back innings as they missed a chance to take a decisive early lead. José Sánchez drew a bases-loaded walk in the fourth and Onix Vega hit an RBI single in the fifth, but in both innings the Shorebirds were able to limit further damage.
