The Potomac Nationals picked up a win at TicketReturn.com Field at Pelicans Ballpark, knocking off the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, 4-2. On the mound for Potomac was right-hander Don Jensen. He played a key role in the triumph. Potomac goes to 15-29, Myrtle Beach to 23-21.

Potomac used a well-timed hit by Steve McGuffie to capture the win. The left fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Nationals ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Potomac manager Cesar Martin called it "a pretty good win."
