Kinston Indians News Release
Kinston's Russell Young had another fantastic start, as three K-Tribe pitchers combined for the 2-0 shutout of Salem Thursday night at Historic Grainger Stadium.
Young pitched 6 2/3 shutout innings, giving up just two singles. Young (4-5) picked up the win, walking two and striking out three. Relievers Kyle Landis and Santo Frias combined for 2 2/3 innings of one hit work to finish the shutout. The duo from the pen allowed just one hit while not walking a batter.
With the score tied at zero in the bottom of the sixth inning, Adam Davis doubled with two away. Lonnie Chisenhall (1-for-4) then drove Davis home with a double of his own, giving Kinston the 1-0 lead. It was Chisenhall's Carolina League leading 77th RBI of the season. Davis would hit his seventh home run of the season in the eighth inning for an added insurance run. Davis ended the night 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
The K-Tribe has now won three straight games for the first time in the second half of the season. Kinston is currently just 4 ½ games out of the final playoff spot in the Carolina League Southern Division.
Game two of the four game set with Salem continues Friday night at Historic Grainger Stadium. Game time 7pm with a Fireworks Extravaganza after the game.
