KANNAPOLIS, N.C. - 10 walks and 10 hits steered the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers to a, 9-6, win over the Salem Red Sox Saturday night at Atrium Health Ballpark.

With the win, the Cannon Ballers now move to 27-32 in the second half, still within reach of finishing the second half of the season above .500. Salem drops to 26-33, 6.5 games behind the lead in the North division with seven games remaining in the season.

RHP Fabian Ysalla allowed two runs over 2.2 frames in his Atrium Health Ballpark debut, walking one and striking out two. RHP Jake Peppers earned his second win of the season with Kannapolis, striking out four while shutting out the Red Sox over 2.1 innings.

Kannapolis got on the board with the first run of the game in the bottom of the first inning, leading, 1-0, on a George Wolkow RBI single.

The Ballers held on to their lead until the top of the fifth, when the Red Sox scored a pair of runs on a D'Angelo Ortiz RBI double and a Yoeilin Cespedes RBI groundout to make it, 2-1, Salem.

Anthony DePino's fifth RBI of the week tied the game at, 2-2, in the bottom of the fifth, scoring Ely Brown on an RBI groundout.
