Winston-Salem Dash News Release
The Winston-Salem Dash (10-5) flipped the game in the seventh, and scored five runs to take down the Asheville Tourists (4-11), 8-5 at Truist Stadium.
Trailing 4-2 entering the bottom of the seventh, Winston-Salem delivered another big inning in an offense-driven series.
A wild pitch got the scoring started before Colby Shelton ripped a two-run double to give the Dash the lead.
Moments later, Anthony DePino launched a two-run home run to cap the rally and push the advantage to 7-4.
The late surge erased a sluggish start for the Dash.
Asheville jumped out quickly in the first, plating three runs on a string of hits and an error to take early control.
Winston-Salem began to chip away in the second. Kyle Lodise sparked the offense with an RBI triple before a throwing error brought home another run to cut the deficit to one and made the score 3-2.
The Tourists added another run in the sixth to extend the lead to 4-2.
After several quiet innings, the Dash finally broke through in the seventh and never looked back.
Winston-Salem added an insurance run in the eighth on an RBI single from Shelton, extending the lead to 8-4.
Asheville threatened in the ninth, plating a run and putting traffic on the bases, but the Dash held firm to secure the win.
Jake Curtis (1-1) earned the win out of the bullpen, while Joan Ogando (0-2) took the loss for Asheville.
Winston-Salem will look to carry the momentum into its next series against Hub City after taking the finale and the series at Truist Stadium.
