Up three-games-to-two, the Woodpeckers were looking to claim the six-game home series against the invaders on Sunday. Right-hander Rhett Kouba (1-0, 0.82) was slated to start for the home team, while the baby Nats had righty Brendan Collins (2-1, 5.72) ready to go.
As a farm team, most eyes from the major league level are on those considered “prospects.” Of course, everyone here is a prospect, however more is expected of three in particular. RHP Alex Santos (9, unavailable), OF Tyler Whitaker (10, not starting), and OF Logan Cerny (24, LF, batting third) currently call Fayetteville their baseball home.
