Salem, VA - It is not often where you have the opportunity to bat twice with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the last inning on the same day.
Salem outfielder Alex Hassan flew out to right field with the potential winning runs aboard in a 5-3 loss in the series opener, but redeemed himself in the finale, taking a 3-2 pitch for ball four to force in Ronald Bermudez and give Salem a much-needed 3-2 victory in the nightcap.
The win snapped a four game losing streak for the Red Sox and prevented them from falling four and a half games behind the Indians.
With six days (and eight games) remaining in the regular season, Salem trails Kinston by three and a half games for the final playoff spot in the Carolina League Southern Division.
The Sox dug themselves an early 5-0 deficit in the opener, with the Nats scoring twice in the first on a two-run double from Jamar Walton and thrice more in the second off Salem starter Michael Lee.
The Red Sox quickly snagged two back in their half of the second, with Oscar Tejeda tripling in Will Middlebrooks and then scoring on Ryan Dent's ground-out. Reliever Zach Hammes kept the Sox close with four scoreless innings out of the bullpen, but Salem was stymied over the remainder of the five innings thrown by former Avalanche hurler Jimmy Barthmaier.
The Red Sox loaded the bases in both the sixth and seventh innings, but went 0-8 with runners in scoring position in the ballgame, scrapping across just one more run to fall 5-3.
In game two, Salem encountered quick adversity again when Derek Norris blasted a solo-homer off Mark Holliman in the first inning. The contest remained 1-zip into the fourth, until Hassan and Tejeda popped back-to-back jacks against Pat Lehman to surge Salem ahead 2-1. The dingers were the eighth for Hassan and the 11th for Tejeda.
Mark Holliman retook the mound for the top of the seventh, having allowed just two hits since Norris' first-inning blast. But Bill Rhinehart crushed a double off the top of the wall in right-center, and after Tyler Moore flew out to shallow center, the Sox pulled the plug on Holliman and Cesar Cabral took over.
Pitching for the first time since the disastrous fifth inning on Sunday, Cabral yielded a deep fly to left field from Sean Rooney. Hassan offered a leaping attempt at the wall, but came up empty and the ball fell in for a game-tying double.
A pinch-hit single for Jose Lozada put runners on the corners, but Cabral induced a double play from Sean Nicol to keep the game even at two, heading to the bottom of the last.
Jon Hee opened the final frame with a leadoff single and was pinch-run for by Ryan Dent. The speedy shortstop stole second, but on Drew Hedman's pop-fly to shallow center, Dent was doubled off second-base on a bang-bang throw from Chris Curran. With two outs and the bases empty, extras seemed imminent. But Bermudez drew a walk to prolong the inning. Then, Luis Segovia hit a chopper to third, with Robby Jacobson airmailing the throw to second, allowing both runners to be safe.
Mitch Dening also drew a walk to load the bases for Hassan, who fell behind in the count 0-2 and fouled off a few tough pitches from Joe Testa before watching a 3-2 toss inch inside to bring home the winning run.
For Potomac's lefthander Testa, it was the second time in three days that he was on the mound for a tough walk-off, as he hit Frederick's Pedro Florimon with a pitch on Sunday at Harry Grove Stadium to end that game as well.
The Sox record moved to 70-60 for the full-season, 28-32 in the second half.
Down by three and a half games in the playoff chase, Salem has little margin for error as they host Potomac for game three of a five-game set at Lewis-Gale Field.
The action continues at 7:05 on Wednesday, with Miguel Gonzalez starting for the Red Sox opposite Nationals' righthander Marcos Frias.

Kevin Coddington singled for one of the four Hillcats hits of the game, but Winston-Salem scored six runs in the second and took the series opener 6-0.
The Cats fall to 30-32 in the second half, four-and-a-half games behind Potomac for first place in the second half of the Carolina League North. That number is pending the result of Potomac's second game of a doubleheader this evening.
The Dash jumped on Hillcats starter Pedro Villarreal for six runs in the second inning. Seth Loman led off the frame with a home run, his 24th of the season. That's good for second in the Carolina League.
After Villarreal retired the next batter, he allowed two straight hits to Logan Johnson and Luis Sierra. Drew Garcia then grounded out before Greg Paiml walked to load the bases. Kenny Williams Jr. hit a two-run single, followed by a Jose Martinez three-run homer. That put the Dash up 6-0 and that's all they needed.
Lynchburg put two runners on base in an inning only once during the game, and couldn't score.
The Cats couldn't put up much against Dash starter Nate Jones. In seven innings, Jones didn't allow a run and let up only three hits while striking out three. He gets the win to move to 11-5. Meanwhile, Pedro Villarreal struggled in his three-inning start. He gave up six runs, all earned and gets the loss.
Lynchburg and Winston-Salem continue their four-game series from BB&T Ballpark tomorrow night at 7 p.m.
Curtis Partch (6-10, 4.71) starts for the Hillcats opposite Dylan Axelrod (7-2, 2.05) for Winston.

DANVILLE, Va. - Just when you thought you'd seen it all this season, the Danville Braves had just one more trick up their sleeves tonight: handing the Burlington Royals a 12-0 thrashing.
Though it will be the Royals who take the Appalachian League East Wild Card as they hold the tie-breaker, the rivals finish with identical 34-34 records, as the Braves what would have been their first losing season in recent history.
After running into trouble last night with runners in scoring position, the D-Braves quickly put that memory to rest as they took a 5-0 lead before the first inning was out.
With the bases loaded and one out, a wild pitch by Burlington starter Leonel Santiago let in the first D-Brave run.
Up to bat for the first time as a D-Brave, catcher Cory Brownsten notched his first hit - a two-RBI double to put Danville on top 3-0.
Still not done, two more runs came across as first baseman Alberto Odreman singled and Kenny Fleming tripled, before the third out was recorded by the ninth batter.
Shut down in order in the second inning, the D-Braves struck again with another three tallies in the home half of the third to catapult them to an 8-0 lead.
The three spot came thanks to RBI singles by the red-hot Brownsten and Fleming, and an RBI ground out by second baseman and newcomer Fernando De Los Santos.
The other half of the story was much different tonight, as Kyle Farrell got the start on the hill for Danville, and proceeded to have his best performance of the 2010 season.
Through the opening three innings, Farrell allowed just two hits, while striking out three Royals. But it just got better from there, as he wracked up another five K's through his remaining two innings of work, including three consecutive whiffs in the fourth inning.
After giving up eight, seven earned, in three innings, Santiago was pulled for Burlington reliever Justin Mazur who stopped the bleeding through the sixth inning. In his opening three innings of work, Mazur gave up a lone hit, and struck out two batters.
But the D-Braves were not ready to let their fire be put out just yet, and threw another four on the board in the seventh.
With his second two-RBI double of the game, Brownsten put the Braves up 10-0. At the very next at bat, Odreman knocked in his second base runner of the game with his second double, and shortstop Matt Lipka recorded his first RBI as a D-Brave before the inning was out.
For the second straight night, the Braves got outstanding innings of relief courtesy.
Tonight's bullpen efforts were kicked off in the sixth by recently-promoted right-handed pitcher Dan Winnie. In his two innings on the mound, Winnie allowed just one hit and struck out a lone batter, before Matthew Suschak came into the game in the eighth, and faced just three batters in the eighth.
With a healthy 12-0 lead in the ninth, Edigson Mora closed out the game and allowed just one more Burlington hit to leave them with six on the night.
For starting the blanking of the Royals with his five-inning stellar start, Farrell got his fifth win of the season. His eight total strike outs were a season-most, and he rounds out the season with a 4.04 ERA.
For giving up eight runs on eight hits in the opening three innings, Burlington righty Santiago got just his third loss of the season. Closer Michael Giovenco was the only Royal pitcher not to allow any runs, as he finished the final 1.2 innings of the game.
While there were several offensive stars in the Danville line-up tonight, the most impressive performance by far was that of catcher Cory Brownsten.
When the game was out, Brownsten was 3-for-4, with three runs and five RBIs - the most by any D-Brave this season. Center fielder Kurt Fleming and infielder Odreman also had solid outings, going 3-for-5 and 2-for-4, respectively. The two contributed a combined three doubles, four runs and two RBIs.
Burlington first baseman Geoff Baldwin tallied the only extra base hit on the night for the Royals, and finished the night at 2-for-4 with a strike out.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: DAN RIVER OPENS WITH WIN, E.C. GLASS, STAUNTON RIVER, GRETNA FALL

Staff Reports
It was the first time the Northside Vikings had taken the football field since they won a state championship last December, but they picked up right where they left off.
Thanks to razor-sharp passing from junior quarterback Adam Hardister, impressive kicking by Sean Joyner and balanced team play by its receivers, running backs and defense, the Vikings cruised past Jefferson Forest 34-12at Hickam Field.
Hardister completed 9 of 10 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns, his only miscues being an intentional grounding penalty in the first half and a pass that was broken up by the Cavalier defense in the third quarter. Joyner converted two first-half field goals of 40 and 41 yards, and narrowly missed another from similar distance in the second half.
Eleven Vikings carried the ball, with runners Tyler Fisher (eight carries for 54 yards), Ryan Bowden (7-55), and Jeremy Williams (10-41) leading the way.
Cavaliers coach Don Rice, a 1983 Northside graduate, was frustrated with his team's second-half performance, but attempted to put things in perspective.
Franklin County 28 E.C. Glass 21
ROCKY MOUNT - The Hilltoppers hung close with their former Western Valley District opponent, but couldn't get past the Eagles.
Lamont Hamlette had a breakout night for E.C. Glass, picking up 170 yards on 10 carries. Quarterback Jordan Anderson had eight yards on eight carries and Mike Goins finished with 26 yards on six carries.
James Gaines returned three kicks for 73 yards for the Hilltoppers (0-1).
Cave Spring 41 Staunton River 21
In a battle of an untested offensive line against an attacking defense, Cave Spring took care of visiting Staunton River, 41-21, on Friday in the season opener for both teams.
Golden Eagles quarterback Cody Jones provided the offensive highlights, scoring on a 57-yard run in the first quarter and adding a 72-yard run in the third quarter. But it was a balanced Knight offensive attack that was the difference.
Cave Spring QB Josh Woodrum answered Jones' first score, hitting Austin Micklem for a 16-yard touchdown.
Then, after a Staunton River punt, Cave Spring scored on a 72-yard run that put the Knights ahead for good.
For the game, Jones was 3-for-12 passing for 13 yards he was the leading rusher, carrying the ball 11 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns.
Dan River 21 Tunstall 7
Drew Wilson
RINGGOLD - Dan River running back Trey Edmunds waited patiently for his blockers as he rolled left.
Edmunds found the space he was looking for as he sprinted down the sideline for a 73-yard touchdown to help the Wildcats open the season with a season-opening 21-7 home victory over Tunstall on Friday night.
Dan River, which led 6-0 at the half, took advantage of two Tunstall mistakes and turned them into a pair of rushing touchdowns as they went ahead 21-0 through three quarters.
On Dan River's first possession of the second half, Tunstall (0-1) thought it had the stop it needed to gain momentum.
Tunstall's Peyton Farrior recovered a Dan River fumble, but the play was negated because of a facemask penalty on the Trojans.
A few plays later, Dan River converted a fourth-and-11, which helped set up an eventual 3-yard touchdown run by Justin Gunter.
After Tunstall's next drive stalled, Dan River got the ball on its own 27-yard line.
The Wildcats, who nearly had their first play picked off, turned to Edmunds, who rumbled down the field for the 73-yard score. He finished with 14 carries for a team-high 138 yards.
Tunstall answered with a 20-play, 88-yard drive that culminated with a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Evan Huffman, which cut Dan River's lead down to 21-7 with 7:04 remaining.
Tunstall, however, couldn't get any closer. Dan River never gave the ball back as the Wildcats' ensuing drive drained the clock to zero.
Dan River wore Tunstall's defense down with its power running game, led by Edmunds, Gunter and Preston Fuller. The three combined for 33 carries for 226 yards.
LCA 31 Gretna 0
GRETNA - In the last two weeks, Liberty Christian Academy has taken to the road to battle against the area's two pre-eminent prep football powers - Amherst County and Gretna.
The Bulldogs beat Amherst last Friday in a benefit game, opening the door for critics to say, "yeah, well it was just a scrimmage."
Friday night's game, though, wasn't a scrimmage. And for the full 48 minutes, the Bulldogs dominated Gretna in every aspect of the game, coming away with a 31-0 victory.
LCA has now played four times against public schools in the last three years and has won each time. And Friday's game was especially convincing, a total beatdown that showed the Bulldogs are ready to handle all local public school challengers.
With the game scoreless in the first quarter and Gretna driving inside the LCA 20, the Hawks' Darien Jefferson fumbled the ball on a hurried exchange from quarterback Nick Miller. LCA's Rennel Marshall recovered it.
"The momentum totally changed right there," Good said.
The Bulldogs rattled off an 18-play, 83-yard drive that lasted 8 minutes, 17 seconds, a slow march capped by Good's 29-yard TD pass to Lucas Smissen.
After the fumble, the Hawks got no further than the LCA 42. The Bulldogs outgained the Hawks 422 yards to 176 and had 19 first downs to Gretna's 10.
Saunders credited LCA's superior defensive line play as the main reason why the Hawks had so much trouble moving the ball.
Good threw for 247 yards and tossed three touchdown passes, two to speedy Bahamian receiver Demitri Knowles and another to Lucas Smissen.
Knowles' 44-yard TD reception less than two minutes into the second half put the game away, giving the Bulldogs a 24-0 lead.
Knowles finished with nine catches for 148 yards.
LCA, which entered the game with questions at tailback after Corey Harrington was removed from the team for disciplinary reasons, may have found an answer in Ronnie Stringfield.
A fourth-string running back who was expected to play defense, Stringfield ran for 122 yards on 17 carries. Kyri Washington started the game at tailback but was injured early.
Brookville 55 Martinsville 13
MARTINSVILLE - The Bees scored early and often as quarterback Kendall Becraft went completed 14-of-17 passes for 194 yards while throwing three touchdown passes.
It was the Bees' defense, however, that keyed an opening night victory. Martinsville managed 239 yards rushing, but was held to just four yards through the air, with one pass being intercepted by Brookville's Mark Boyd and returned 45 yards for a touchdown. Brookville's Ben Simmons rushed five times for 96 yards.
