Nationals Lose to Keys in Walk-Off
The Frederick Keys had to overcome a big game from Potomac right fielder Chris Sampson to leave Harry Grove Stadium with a victory. And they did, winning, 5-4. Sampson went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times. Frederick has won 3 straight, while Potomac has lost 4 in a row.

Shawn Baker was the walk-off hero for Frederick. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Keys shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Frederick manager Whit Merrifield praised his team's "energy."
