Wednesday night in Richmond the Senators fell behind 2-0 to the Richmond Flying Squirrels, rallied to tie the game at 2-2, before falling 3-2. Richmond plated a run in the bottom of the seventh on a bloop single over a drawn-in infield making a winner out of Jake Dunning.
Ryan Perry started for the Sens and pitched in and out of trouble in the first three innings before Richmond finally broke through for two runs in the fourth.
