Winston-Salem Dash News Release
WOODBRIDGE, Va. - For the second consecutive day, three Potomac pitchers combined to shut out the Dash, as Winston-Salem fell 4-0 on Sunday afternoon at Pfitzner Stadium.
Potomac (32-29, 62-66) starter Jackson Tetreault (3-2) allowed just five hits while walking two and striking out seven over six scoreless frames. Jorge Pantoja followed with a perfect seventh before Hayden Howard locked up the victory with two scoreless innings to wrap it up.
The Nationals scored first against Dash (30-31, 68-57) starter Taylor Varnell (1-2) in the first inning. Jack Sundberg led off the first with a walk, and, two batters later, big league rehabber Ryan Zimmerman lofted an RBI double to left-center to make it a 1-0 contest.
In the fifth, Gilbert Lara started the inning with a single to center against Varnell. After Lara advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt from Sundberg, Cole Freeman ripped a two-run homer over the wall in left to put the Nationals up three. Potomac added its final tally in the seventh against Jose Nin.
The Dash's final two contests at Potomac marked the first time this season Winston-Salem has been shut out in back-to-back games, and the first time since August 5-August 6 at Frederick in 2016 that the Dash have fallen in back-to-back games in such fashion.
