WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Winston-Salem Dash fell to the Rome Emperors, 8-0, on Thursday evening at Truist Stadium in front of 4,392 fans.
Rome (9-7) got on the board early and were able to hold the lead throughout. Kevin Kilpatrick Jr. walked to lead off the game against Winston-Salem (7-11) starter, Peyton Pallette, and scored on a RBI single from Adam Zebrowski giving the visitors an early 1-0 advantage.
