FREDERICK, MD - The Potomac Nationals racked up five runs and nine hits in the first three innings to defeat the Frederick Keys 7-1 on Friday night at Nymeo Field. Keys pitching allowed a season-high 16 hits on the game.
In the first, Carter Kieboom singled, moved to second on a walk and scored on a base hit by Jake Noll. Potomac (5-4) then made it a 3-0 game an inning later. Cody Sedlock plunked David Masters to open the inning, while a groundout and a double by Blake Perkins extended the Potomac lead. Three straight singles capped off the inning.
Rhett Wiseman socked an RBI triple in the third to score a runner from first and Masters doubled his teammate home to cap off the last multi-run inning of the night for Potomac. Sedlock (0-1) exited the game after the fourth. Hit with the loss, the former Illinois product surrendered five runs on nine hits.
Frederick (5-4) was limited by Nationals starter Tyler Mapes. Making his second start of the season, the right-hander earned the win tossing five scoreless innings while scattering five hits. Mapes (1-0) walked one and struck out seven.
