Seven of the nine starters finished with hits, including three for Jared Mitchell and Eduardo Escobar. Kannapolis combined to post 14 hits in the one-sided win.

Most of the damage was done against starter Matt Moore (8-5). The standout lefthander gave up a career-high six earned runs on eight hits, while walking two. The South Atlantic League strikeout leader fanned only three in his brief time on the mound.
