WASHINGTON - Even with the losses mounting, a smile stayed on the face of Single-A Fredericksburg manager Mario Lisson.
The minor league team was 1-16 going into Sunday’s game against the Salem Red Sox, and the suffered another loss.
“I want them to play a complete game,” Lisson said Friday, a few hours before Fredericksburg was able to shed its winless label.
“If you have a man on third with less than two outs, do whatever you need to do to get that run in. Do the routine. The winning is going to take care of itself” if the team does the little things.
