(WHITAKER BANK BALLPARK, Lexington, Ky.) Derek Miller's two-out, two-run double gave Greenville the lead in the top of the seventh inning, and the Drive went on to a 7-3 win over the Lexington Legends Wednesday. The win completed a three-game series sweep for Greenville.
The Legends took the early lead on Elier Hernandez' first home run of the year, a two-run shot in the second inning.
Greenville scored a run in the fourth when Ben Moore was hit by a pitch, moved to second on a single by Rafael Devers and scored on a base hit by Michael Chavis. The Drive tied the game in the sixth when Mauricio Dubon led off with a single, stole second and third, and came home on a ground out by Carlos Mesa.
Lexington took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth on doubles by Ryan O'Hearn and Hernandez.
In the top of the seventh, Cisco Tellez doubled with one out and stayed at second as Joseph Monge grounded out to shortstop. Deiner Lopez then grounded to third baseman Carlos Garcia, who threw past first for an error. Tellez moved to third on the play, and both Tellez and Lopez scored when Miller lined a double to left field, giving Greenville a 4-3 lead.
The Drive added three more runs in the eighth inning. With two outs, Devers reached on an error by Garcia. Chavis followed with a double, scoring Devers, and Tellez hit a two-run homer, putting Greenville up 7-3.
Reliever Carlos Pinales (1-0) got the win. He took over for starter Jamie Callahan at the start of the sixth inning. Legends' reliever Emilio Ogando, who relieved starter Nik Stephenson with two outs in the sixth inning, was the losing pitcher. Ogando allowed five runs, all unearned.
