ASHEVILLE, N.C. - The Asheville Tourists were ahead 9-4 in the ninth inning of Wednesday's game against the Greenville Drive at HomeTrust Park, but ultimately lost in extra innings 11-10.
Jumping ahead early and staying in front for most of the night, the Tourists' (4-13) offense was in control and dominated Drive (8-9) pitching. Highlights include an RBI single from Ethan Frey in the first inning and a two-RBI triple from Chase Call in the eighth.
Trailing by five in the ninth, Greenville scored one run before loading the bases. Then, a grand slam sent over the right center field wall tied the game at nine.
Heading into extra innings, Francisco Frias (L, 0-2) allowed a two-run double in the 10th inning to put Greenville ahead 11-9. In the bottom of the frame, PJ Labriola (W, 2-1) allowed the inherited run to score on a fielder's choice RBI, but otherwise worked a one-two-three inning to secure the win.
Moving to Game 3 of the series, Asheville and Greenville will play on Thursday night at 6:35 p.m. ET.
