WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Winston-Salem Dash used a nine-run fourth inning to beat Greenville 10-4.

Winston-Salem struck first against Greenville, in the top of the second inning.

Tyler Osik fell behind 0-2, but then blasted a ball out to right field for his first home run of the season.

Already up 1-0, the Dash exploded in the fourth inning.

Jason Matthews led off with a single, followed by an Adam Hackenberg double. Then, Shawn Goosenberg lined a single into center field, scoring Matthews and moving Hackenberg to third. Goosenberg stole second, then Harvin Mendoza walked to load the bases for Osik.

A wild pitch allowed everyone to move up a base, then an error by the Drive allowed Goosenberg to score, and make it a 4-0 Dash lead. The inning did not end there though.

Duke Ellis worked a walk with runners on the corners, loading the bases once again.

Oscar Colas found himself with a chance to blow the game open, and he did not disappoint. Colas delivered with a bases clearing double to right field, giving Winston-Salem a 7-0 edge. Colas came in to score on an RBI fielder's choice, before Adam Hackenberg clocked a two-run home run to see the Dash take a 10-0 lead. All told, it was a nine-spot in the frame for Winston-Salem.

The Drive did not just roll over, of course.

Stephen Scott picked up an RBI in the sixth, and Nick Decker launched a solo home run to cut the Dash lead to 10-2.

In the eighth, both Nick Northcutt and Scott again drove in a run apiece to make it a 10-4 game. But Theo Denlinger fired a scoreless ninth for the Dash, as they locked down a 10-4 win.

Jesus Valles earned the win for Winston-Salem, while Wyatt Olds suffered the loss.
