(Kannapolis, NC) - Kannapolis pitching held the Captains to just five hits in shutting out the Captains 2-0 on Sunday. This was the conclusion of the game suspended due to weather on Saturday night. The scheduled game was never played as the rain came again and made the field unplayable.

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the sixth inning. John Gaub replaced Captains starter Kelvin De la Cruz at the restart of the game. De La Cruz went 4.2 scoreless innings giving up only two hits and striking out four. Gaub would walk Jose Martinez and then Logan Johnson followed with a two run home run and the Intimidators led 2-0. This was Johnson's second home run of the series. Gaub would suffer the loss in his first Captains appearance. Levi Maxwell got the win in relief of Anthony Carter. Carter went five scoreless innings prior to the game being suspended. Henry Mabee pitched the final two innings to get his fourth save.

The Captains return home on Tuesday for an eight game home stand with four games each against Greensboro and Kannapolis. Tuesday's game begins at 7:05 pm with the Captains sending LHP Ryan Morris on the mound (3-0, 1.23). The News-Herald High School Home Run Derby debuts after the game on the 29th. The contest goes on after every Tuesday home Captains game with the finals following the game on July 8th. Tickets for all Captains home games are on sale at the Classic Park ticket office, by phone at 440-954-WINS (9467) or at captainsbaseball.com.
