What a fantastic game for our Washington Nationals, who delivered a stellar performance with a 7-0 shutout victory over the Miami Marlins!

Things heated up in the bottom of the third inning when Jose Tena's single to left jumpstarted the inning, followed by CJ Abrams and Dylan Crews with crucial singles that brought home runs. Crews capitalized on the momentum with yet another single, allowing Tena to score our first run! Juan Yepez then followed with his own single, bringing in Abrams. The highlight of the inning came from our catcher Riley Adams, who blasted a grand slam home run to left field, scoring Crews, Andres Chaparro, and Alex Call! That brought us to a commanding 6-0 lead.
The Fourth Inning Sealed the Deal
Our strong fourth inning saw Darren Baker making his mark. After reaching first with a single to left, he exhibited some lightning-fast base running by stealing second and third bases.
This speed paid off when Dylan Crews singled to center, allowing Baker to score the Nationals' seventh run of the game!Shutting Down the Marlins
Excellent pitching and defense by our team kept the Marlins at bay throughout the whole game. Mackenzie Gore, Francisco Salazar, Jose Ferrer, Jackson Rutledge, and Jefry Ribalta combined efforts to keep the opposition scoreless. They collectively ensured the Marlins couldn't find their rhythm offensively, striking out batters and executing key defensive plays. It was beautiful teamwork!
