Carolina Mudcats News Release
FREDERICKSBURG, V.A. - The Fredericksburg Nationals scored twice in the bottom of the sixth and held on over the final three frame to defeat the Carolina Mudcats 5-4 on Thursday night at Virginia Credit Union Stadium.
Fredericksburg (19-21) entered the last of the sixth with the game square at three but were able to regain the lead thanks to a two-out rally against Melvin Hernandez (L, 4-2). After Roismar Quintana and Randal Diaz walked, Nick Peoples laced a two-run double to right field to give the Nationals a 5-3 lead.
Carolina (26-14) got a run back in the eighth when a throwing error on a pick-off attempt allowed Jesus Made to score and cut the deficit to 5-4.
That would be as close as the Mudcats would get as Ryan Minckler (1-1) worked one inning out of the bullpen to earn the win and Adam Bloebaum (S, 3) covered the final two frames with three strikeouts to preserve the one-run victory.
The series continues with a scheduled doubleheader on Friday night with first pitch of game one slated for 5:05 P.M. Both games will be seven-inning contests.
The Carolina Mudcats are the officially licensed Class-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. First established in 1991, the Mudcats have provided affordable family fun for over 30 years at Five County Stadium in Zebulon, N.C. The 2025 season will celebrate the 35th year of the Carolina Mudcats.
