GWINNETT, GA - Bulls second baseman Jonathan Aranda drove in three runs and left fielder Niko Hulsizer smashed a 2-run homer in Durham's 7-3 victory over the Gwinnett Stripers on Wednesday evening at Coolray Field.
Durham struck first in the fifth inning when Aranda's single gave the Bulls a 1-0 lead before he drove in another two runs in the seventh. Designated hitter Nick Dini scored in the same frame thanks to third baseman Osleivis Basabe's sacrifice fly. Hulsizer would extend Durham's lead to 6-0 in the following inning with a 2-run homer, before right fielder Ben Gamel's RBI finished the win at 7-3.
Gwinnett SS Vaughn Grissom drove in a run and C Chadwick Tromp recorded a 2-run homer.
