WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Winston-Salem Dash dropped the first game of a weekend series against the Rome Braves 3-2.

Rome struck first against Dash starter Andrew Dalquist, when Beau Philip launched a high drive on to the grassy hill in left field for a solo home run.

For the Braves, they gave Luis De Avila the starting nod and he was very effective. He allowed just one base hit through the first three innings, before his offense picked him up in the fourth inning.

Drew Campbell crushed a leadoff home run in the top of the fourth, then Tyler Tolve tripled behind him. Beau Philip immediately plated Tolve with a single into left field, and the Braves pulled ahead 3-0.

De Avila tossed two more scoreless frames in the fifth and sixth inning, but returned for the seventh inning.

In the bottom of the seventh, Winston-Salem found their groove at the plate.

Luis Mieses and Adam Hackenberg ripped back-to-back singles, then Tyler Osik got the Dash on the board with an RBI single into center field. Then with Hackenberg on third, Alsander Womack lifted a sacrifice fly into straightaway center to push Hackenberg across. However, the Dash couldn't plate any more runs, and trailed 3-2 going to the eighth.

Ty Madrigal worked out of a tight spot in the eighth, setting the scene for a dramatic ninth inning. Adam Hackenberg got plunked to open the frame, then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Unfortunately, the Dash couldn't push Hackenberg across and fell 3-2 to the Braves. De Avila took the win, while Dalquist suffered the loss.
