KINSTON, NC - An early deficit did not deter the FredNats, as they rallied for a come-from-behind 5-3 win, in 10 innings. Fredericksburg snaps a four game losing streak and is now 28-19, while Down East sits at 25-21.

The Wood Ducks drew first blood for the second night in a row, as Julian Brock launched a solo home run in the second inning. Then in the third, an E2 on a stolen base attempt allowed Echedry Vargas to score and give Down East a 2-0 edge.

Fredericksburg got on the board in their half of the fourth, as Caleb Farmer roped an RBI single into left field to plate Brandon Pimentel. The Nationals tied the game an inning later, when Marcus Brown scored from third base on an E6.

Tyler Baca gave FXBG a lead with his RBI single in the sixth, but the Wood Ducks brought the game level again in the eighth, when Marcos Torres tripled into right field.

After a scoreless ninth inning, Roismar Quintana continued his red-hot May with a two run double, handing Merrick Baldo a 5-3 lead for the bottom of the 10th.

Baldo walked the first batter he faced, but retired the next three to secure a 5-3 FredNat win. It was his second save, with Thomas Schultz (3-1) picking up the win in relief and Bryan Magdaleno (2-1) taking the loss.

In game three, Travis Sykora (0-1, 4.26) squares off against Kohl Drake (2-1, 2.63) in a 6:30 start.
