Kinston Indians News Release
Kinston took an early 3-0 lead, but Wilmington scored six unanswered runs to take down the Tribe 6-3 Tuesday night in Delaware.
Kinston took advantage of Wilmington mistakes early as Adam Davis scored on a passed ball in the top of the third to give the K-Tribe a 1-0 lead. Kinston would go up 2-0 when Roman Pena scored on an error by Wilmington third baseman Mike Moustakas in the fourth inning. In the third inning, Lonnie Chisenhall (1-for-4, run) led off with a triple and scored on a John Allman sacrifice fly to put Kinston up 3-0.
After a great first four innings, Wilmington would get to Kinston starter Russell Young with three straight hits in the fifth. Wilmington would tie the score at three with a two-out, two RBI single by Derrick Robinson. Things would get messy in the sixth inning after Moustakas led off the inning with a double, but was still at second with two outs. An infield single off the bat of Wilmington's Paolo Orlando was misplayed at first base, allowing Moustakas to score on the error and giving Wilmington a 4-3 led. Three more hits and another error in the inning would keep Kinston down for good. Young (0-2) was charged with six runs on eight hits. Young struck out a season high five batters. Chen-Chang Lee and Garrison Campfield combined for 1 2/3 innings of scoreless work from the Kinston pen.
Kinston returns to Wilmington for game two of the three game series Wednesday night at 6:35 pm. Eric Berger will get the starting nod for the K-Tribe.
