The Fredericksburg Nationals Minor League Baseball team went all the way this year and won the championship of the Carolina League last Wednesday by defeating the Kannapolis Cannonballers for the title. Players on this Minor League team use this as a steppingstone to the Washington Nationals team up in the Nation’s Capital. In Fredericksburg, a historic town about 45 miles south of Alexandria, it was a big deal for the local baseball fans. Earlier this summer, the choir from Mount Vernon High School made the trip and sang the National Anthem before one of the games.
