Kinston Indians News Release
Roanoke, VA - The Kinston Indians defeated the Salem Red Sox in 13 innings by a score of 9-7 on Saturday Night. Kinston used three hits a walk and a sacrifice fly to score two runs and win the game 9-7. The turning point was a wild pitch committed by Salem relief pitcher T.J. Hose, which put the K-Tribe up 8-7 and then a sac fly by Roberto Perez gave the K-Tribe insurance, and ultimately the win.
The Kinston Indians opened the scoring in the top of the first inning. Adam Abraham doubled home Tyler Holt who reached on an error. The 1-0 lead was short lived.
In the bottom half of the inning the Salem Red Sox scored four times. The Red Sox had six straight hits to begin the game including back-to-back homeruns by Bryce Brentz, and Miles Head. The Red Sox plated four runs and led the game 4-1 after one full inning.
Kinston Starter Marty Popham didn't make it out of the third inning. After a double by Brentz and a walk to Hecker Meneses that was it for the Righty. Aaron Holbert went to the bullpen and summoned the newest Kinston Indian Nick Sarianides. Sarianides yielded a sacrifice fly to Shannon Wilkerson making the score 5-1 in favor of the Salem Red Sox.
In the bottom of the forth inning Salem added to their lead. Josue Peley doubled and then Peter Hissey doubled him home. Later in the inning Hiss scampered home himself on an RBI single by Bryce Brentz. The score was 7-1 after four full innings of play.
In the seventh inning the K-Tribe got a little bit closer. Adam Abraham reached on an infield single and then trotted home on the Jeremie Tice 2-run homerun. It was Tice's 9th homer of the season. The score after seven was 7-3 in favor of Salem.
Meanwhile, Toru Murata entered the game on the mound in the sixth inning with a 13-inning scoreless inning streak. Murata extended his streak by two innings to 15 straight scoreless frames.
The Kinston Indians didn't go quietly as they tied the game in the top of the ninth inning. Tice walked to start the inning off Salem Reliever Michael Gleason. Jesus Aguilar then singled Tice to second base. With one out Doug Pickens reached on a fielder's choice that moved Tice to Third. Pickens then took second base on defensive indifference. Roberto Perez then lined a single to left field which scored both Tice and Pickens and made the score 7-5. That sent Gleason to the showers and Will Latimer to the hill. Delvi Cid greeted him with a base hit and Perez stopped at second base. Casey Frawley was sent to the plate to pinch hit for Jordan Casas and Frawley promptly doubled to left field scoring both Perez and Cid. Cid scored all the way from first base. The Indians pushed four runs across the plate in the ninth to tie the game at 7-7.
The losing pitcher was T.J. Hose (0-1) who was making his first Carolina League appearance and was saddled with the loss. The winning pitcher was Kyle Landis who pitched a scoreless two innings and struck out one. The time of the game was 4 hours and 28 minutes
