Bethesda increases lead

The Big Train beat the Nationals Tuesday night in Waldorf, home of last years all star game. After the Nationals took the lead in the first, Cody Freeman had the answer in the 3rd scoring a runner on a double after a wild pitch scored a run. Jordan Beistline held that lead through 5 innings and by then the Big Train had notched on 1 more run. Nick Schneeberger scored in the 6th and Bethesda came through with 4 runs in the 7th. That was all of the scoring as Hugh Adams and Seth Williams held the Nationals to only 1 base runner. Who reached on an error. Combined in 4 innings pitched they allowed 1 base runner and struck out 8! Danny Stienstra had 2 runs, 2 hits, and 1 walk. Pitching was clearly the difference in the ball game. The Big Train walked 2 while striking out 9. And the Nationals walked 9 and struck out 5. The Big Train double the Nationals in hits with 10 and each team committed 2 errors. Bethesda's lead over the Orioles is now 1 game. Check out My league website for a look at the standings
