Salem Avalanche fans got an extra treat Monday night at Salem Stadium. Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman out of UVA playing for the Nats' Single-A team Potomac tonight and tomorrow night as designated hitter against Salem.
He's been on the disabled list since the beginning of June with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. We'll get to his at bat in just a bit. But first in the bottom of the second, Roberto Mena is going to get Salem on the board. He sends a drive deep into the right-center gap. Cesar Quintero scores. Mena ends up with a triple and we're tied at one.
We go to the 5th, it's 4-2 Potomac. Zimmerman leads off the inning with a double to the wall. On the night he was 2-for-5 with two doubles. The next batter up in the 5th, Francisco Plasencia. He singles to left. Zimmerman will come into score to make it 5-2 Potomac, but Salem had a comeback in 'em. They were down 6-2 but scored three in the 5th and three in the 8th to win it 8-6.
Potomac and the Hillcats were tied for first in the Northern Division entering Monday night. Lynchburg playing at Wilmington, and the 'Cats fall to the Rocks 9-3. With Potomac's loss, the Hillcats and Nats still tied for first.
