Woodbridge, VA --- The Potomac Nationals (63-49, 25-18) used two home runs and six RBIs from LF Randolph Oduber as well as six scoreless innings from LHP Matthew Spann (W, 8-5) to rout the Winston-Salem Dash (54-61, 24-22) 10-2 on Wednesday night.

Oduber hit the first of his two dingers to cap a five-run third inning for Potomac. RF Brandon Miller launched his 11th bomb of the year in the frame and first since coming off the disabled list. CF Isaac Ballou contributed with a triple and a run as well. Ballou fell a home run shy of the cycle scoring a pair of runs and knocking in two.

The P-Nats added three more in the fourth with Ballou's two-run double and an Oduber RBI-groundout. Oduber's second homer came in the eighth off LHP Jose Bautista to right field.

Spann put fourth his best effort of the season over his six innings. He allowed a single hit while striking out four without allowing a walk. Dash RHP James Dykstra (L, 2-1) took the loss, surrendering eight earned runs over his 3.1 innings of work. Nationals' LHP Jake Walsh recorded the rare four-strikeout inning to end the game in the ninth.

The Potomac Nationals Baseball Network, which is accessible at www.potomacnationals.com, will broadcast the final game of a three game series against Winston-Salem on Thursday, August 7th. Broadcast coverage will begin with the P-Nats Leadoff Show at 11:50pm in preparation for the 12:05pm start. Potomac will send RHP Ian Dickson (3-8, 5.27) to the mound while LHP Carlos Rodon (0-0, 6.00) will make his first professional start for the Dash. Thursday is a kids summer camp day at The Pfitz.
