Aristil would then continue to retire the next 13 batters he faced before leaving the game in the 7th inning.

Tyler Massey doubled with one out in the seventh and came home on the second Ryan Peisel double on the night accounting for the one Asheville run. Scott Robinson added a single as Asheville out-hit the Sand Gnats 4-3 in the contest.

Robert Carson (6-5) picked up the win in his longest outing of his career. Carson tossed eight innings and allowed just the one run. Rhiner Cruz picked up his 12th save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning.
