The GCL Nationals finally completed their 6/30 suspened game against the GCL Cardinals scoring two eighth inning runs on their way to a 2-1 victory (box). Atahaulpa Severino pitched the first five shutout innings back in June allowing two hits and three walks while striking out three. PJ Dean picked up his first professional win with two shutout innings allowing one hit and one walk with three strikeouts. 2007 40th round selection Kai Tuomi picked up the save in his first professional appearance allowing one run, one hit, and two walks over two innings of relief. LF Jake Smolinski was 1/3 with a walk and a run scored. CA Derek Norris was 0/2 with a pair of walks scoring the othe run. CF Yhonson Lopez was 3/4 with an RBI. In the regularly scheduled game, DH Derek Norris (2/4) singled in the rehabbing George Lombard (3/3 with a double) in the fifth inning which provided the winning margin in a 5-4 win over the GCL Cardinals (box). RF Michael Burgess (2/4) hit his first professional home run in the third inning. LF Jake Smolinski was 1/3 with a walk and two runs scored. Oddly enough, Atahaulpa Severino was also the starting pitcher for the regularly scheduled game. His second time around was less successful allowing four runs on five hits over four innings of work. Randy Matias picked up the win in relief allowing only two hits and one walk in three innings while striking out three.
