FELIZ'S GRAND SLAM, SIX RBI FUEL 9-5 FREDNATS WIN OVER FAYETTEVILLE

FREDERICKSBURG, VA - Behind a grand slam and a career-high six RBI from Washington infield prospect, Angel Feliz, the Fredericksburg Nationals (28-20, 58-55) blitzed the Fayetteville Woodpeckers (25-25, 61-55) and took sole possession of first place in the Carolina League North with a 9-5 win.

Feliz came up with the bases loaded in the second, looking to open the scoring and did more than just that. He got a fastball right down the middle from Ryan Verdugo and blistered a line drive the opposite way into the visiting bullpen at Virginia Credit Union Stadium. It was Feliz's second career home run, both of which are grand slams. In grabbing a 4-0 lead, the FredNats had their third grand slam of the series.

The FredNats added three more runs in the fourth inning, as Brenner Cox doubled in Jacob Walsh, Feliz hit a sacrifice fly to plate Eli Willits and Jorgelys Mota beat out an infield single to drive in Cox.

That meant Liam Sullivan took the hill in the fifth inning with a 7-0 lead and proceeded to mow down the Woodpeckers, finishing five innings for the first time all year. Sullivan, the lefty starter, retired the final 10 hitters he faced.

Fredericksburg scored two more in the seventh, as Feliz smashed an RBI single to notch his sixth RBI of the night. He set a career high and also became the first FredNats hitter to drive in six runs in a single game in 2025. It is Fredericksburg's first six-RBI game since Dylan Crews did it on August 13, 2023, at Lynchburg.

Despite a late surge by Fayetteville, the FredNats held on for a 9-5 victory, taking the series and the season series against the Woodpeckers. Sullivan (1-1) got the win, as Verdugo (0-1) got the loss. The FredNats will look for their fourth straight win on Saturday, sending Luke Johnson to the mound in a 7:05 start.
