The Potomac Nationals stopped the Lynchburg Hillcats, 9-4, at Ed Smith Stadium. The Nationals got a big game from Jesús Pérez, who went 1-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Jeremy Hansen, who is tied for 10th in the CAR in saves with 9, nailed down the save. Potomac is third in the Northern Division with a record of 58-70.

Potomac used the timely hitting of César Paredes to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Nationals on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Paredes told the Potomac Citizen. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."
