MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com-The Potomac Nationals hit three home runs on their way to an 7-0 victory over Kinston on Saturday night in Virginia. 

Potomac managed just six hits in the game, but half were home runs; starting with a solo shot from Danny Espinosa in the bottom of the first inning.  In the top of the fourth inning, Potomac's Michael Burgess reached base on a dropped pop-up by Kinston shortstop Ronald Rivas.  After the error, Devin Ivany walked and Tim Pahuta launched a three-run home run off of Kinston starter Bryan Price.  Price (2-4) was again the tough luck loser, giving up four hits in 6 2/3 innings for five runs (four earned).  Price walked one and struck out six.  Potomac would put the game away in the bottom of the eighth inning, courtesy of a two-run home run by Ivany off of K-Tribe reliever Santo Frias.
