Kinston Indians News Release
A couple of two-run home runs in the top of the fourth inning were the difference, as Frederick beat Kinston 4-2 Thursday night at Historic Grainger Stadium. The win completed a three game sweep of Kinston by Frederick, as the Keys improve to 8-1 against the Indians this season.
Frederick struck in the top of the first inning, scoring a run on an RBI single by Robbie Widlansky. The K-Tribe would come right back in the bottom of the frame, when Cord Phelps led off with a single and advanced to third base on a double by Lonnie Chisenhall. Phelps would score on an RBI ground out from Ole Sheldon.
The Keys would break the tie when both Brandon Waring and Caleb Joseph hit solo home runs off of Kinston starter Eric Berger in the top of the fourth inning. Berger entered the game with a 2.13 ERA, the second lowest in the Carolina League. Berger had given up only one home run in 16 previous starts before the inning. Berger (7-6) took the loss, giving up five hits while striking out six and walking none in five innings.
Kinston would manage just one hit after the first inning, scoring their only other run when Lucas Montero reached base in the seventh inning on a fielding error and scoring on an RBI ground out from Adam Davis. Keys starter Sean Gleason (1-3) picked up the win, striking out six and walking one in seven innings.
David Roberts would give Kinston a good outing from the bullpen, giving up just one hit in two innings of relief. Dallas Cawiezell would give up a run on two hits in two innings of work from the K-Tribe pen.
The K-Tribe returns to Historic Grainger Stadium Friday night for the 60 Celebration! The K-Tribe will be wearing throwback Kinston Eagle Jerseys. The jerseys will be sold through a silent auction during the game! We will also have former Negro League Players in the park and Fireworks after the game. Game time 7pm against the Potomac Nationals.
