Dash Squeaks By K-Tribe
July 28, 2009 - Carolina League (CarL1)
Kinston Indians News Release
Kinston scored four runs in the top of the first inning, but didn't manage a hit in the final eight frames as the Indians fell 10-5 in game two of a three game series with Winston-Salem.
The game started off promising with three straight K-Tribe singles capped off by a Lonnie Chisenhall (1-for-3) RBI single to drive in Lucas Montero. It was Chisenhall's 71st RBI on the season; second most in the Carolina League. The All-Star third baseman has now recorded at least one RBI in five straight games and seven of the last eight games.
Dash starter Wander Perez then hit Ole Sheldon with a pitch to load the bases. Perez induced Cord Phelps to ground into a double play, but Tim Fedroff scored on the play to make it 2-0 Kinston. Doug Pickens (1-for-4) then roped a two-run homer, his third of the season, to put the Indians out in front 4-0.
The Dash would get three runs right back in the bottom of the inning, starting with an error by shortstop Kyle Haines. With one away, the Dash would get three straight singles off K-Tribe starter Mike McGuire (0-3), including a Brent Morel RBI single. Salvador Sanchez would get an RBI fielder's choice followed by a Logan Johnson RBI single to make the score 4-3.
The Dash would add two more in the third inning to take the lead 5-4. McGuire lasted just three frames, allowed five runs, four earned, on six hits, two walks and struck out one.
Jonathan Holt entered the game for the K-Tribe in the fourth and allowed a Seth Loman two-run homer to make the game 7-4.
Bryce Stowell went the next three frames, allowing three runs on three hits, two walks and struck out two. The big blow off Stowell was a Sanchez three-run homer to cap the scoring for the Dash and put a exclamation point on a 10-4 win.
Gregory Infante (1-0) earned the win in relief, going three innings, not allowing a run or a hit, walking two and striking out one.
Kinston has now lost 10 of the last 11 to Winston-Salem.
The K-Tribe will try to salvage the final game of the series tomorrow at 7 pm with new pitcher Scott Barnes, just acquired in the Ryan Garko trade from the Cleveland Indians to the San Francisco Giants, on the mound for his first Carolina League start. Barnes was 12-3, with a 2.85 ERA in 18 starts for San Jose in the California League
