Harrisburg’s offense wasted no time making a statement in New Hampshire, and the Senators kept piling it on until the Fisher Cats were buried under an 11-1 loss in the series opener.
Josh Randall set the tone on the mound with six scoreless innings, allowing three hits, four walks and one hit batsman while striking out four to pick up his fifth win. Kevin Bazzell was everywhere in the lineup, going 4-for-5 with three runs scored, a double and a homer.
Nick Mitchell added three hits of his own, including a long ball, and drove in two. Made finished 2-for-4 with a run, a walk and three RBI, while White also chipped in with a 2-for-4 night that included three runs, a walk and two RBI.
The Senators’ attack came in waves, with Harrisburg putting up a crooked number four times in nine trips to the plate.
Fredericksburg, meanwhile, had a much tougher night in Fayetteville and fell 4-2 after scoring twice in the second inning and then getting shut down the rest of the way.
Noah Millikan worked the first four innings for Fayetteville and gave up one run on six hits with no walks and four strikeouts. Tony Neubeck took the loss after allowing two runs, one earned, across three innings on two hits and a walk.
Cashel Dugger and Gavin Fien each had two hits for the FredNats, but the bullpen for Fayetteville took over from there and slammed the door with eight strikeouts over the final four innings. Fien also added an outfield assist at second base and committed an error.
The loss leaves Fredericksburg heading back home needing to win twice in two days.

Nationals Just Got A Key Arm Back With Big Questions Ahead
Connelly Early is back on the mound for the Nationals, taking his first rehab start in the Bridge League as he works his way back from injury. The controlled setting gives Washington a chance to ease him in while seeing where his arm stands after a stop-and-start stretch, and it also keeps the focus on the long view with a pitcher the organization still wants to develop carefully.
Earlys return adds another name to a rotation picture that has been anything but simple, but there is still plenty of uncertainty around how much he can help in the near term. His recent injuries have complicated the timeline, and while the Nationals are getting a look at his arsenal again, the bigger question is whether there will be enough time left for him to make any kind of impact in the majors this season.

Nationals Top Prospect Is Suddenly On A Faster Track Than Expected
Eli Willits is moving again, and this one says plenty about how quickly the Nationals want to test their top prospect. The five-tool shortstop, ranked fourth in baseball by MLB.com, is being sent up to Double-A Harrisburg after opening his season at High-A Wilmington, giving him a brief look against a tougher level before the year winds down.
The fast rise only sharpens the focus on what comes next for one of the sports most closely watched young players. Willits is expected to begin the 2027 season in Harrisburg, and the bigger question now is how quickly he can keep climbing from there as Washington tracks whether he can put himself in position for an even bigger leap.

Nationals May Have Found A Bullpen Piece Fans Didn't See Coming
The Nationals added a bullpen arm at the deadline in a move that flew a little under the radar, sending outfielder Christian Franklin to Baltimore for reliever Joe Glassey. Since arriving in the organization, Glassey has moved quickly through the system, jumping from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester and giving the club some intriguing depth at a spot that has been a constant focus for a rebuilding team.
Glasseys early work has been encouraging enough to keep him on the radar, especially with the way he has handled each level so far. The right-hander has shown a pitch mix that the Nationals believe could translate to the majors, and if that carries over, he could become one of those late-season additions who starts as a depth move and ends up mattering more than expected.
