Winston-Salem Dash News Release
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Despite collecting 12 hits, Winston-Salem was unable to keep up with the Lynchburg Hillcats, as the Dash fell 10-6 on a rainy Tuesday night at BB&T Ballpark.
Jameson Fisher and Carlos Perez each had three hits apiece, as the Dash (16-14) scored runs in five separate innings. But, the Hillcats (16-15) bats were even more potent, as Lynchburg scored 10 runs on 14 hits.
After the Hillcats jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, the Dash got on the board in the bottom of the second. Zach Remillard cranked a solo homer to left for his second home run of the season, cutting the Lynchburg lead to 2-1.
Winston-Salem took its only lead in the bottom of the fourth. Fisher led off the inning by doubling off the wall before moving to third on a sacrifice bunt by Remillard. Craig Dedelow then brought Fisher home with a sacrifice fly to center, tying the game at two.
With two outs in the inning, Perez continued the rally with a single through the left side. After a Tate Blackman walk, Yeyson Yrizarri bounced a single through the right side to score Perez and give the Dash a 3-2 edge.
Lynchburg did much of its damage in a four-run fifth inning. With Winston-Salem leading 3-2 entering the frame, the Hillcats began to rally with two outs against Dash starter Lincoln Henzman (1-1). With Steven Kwan already aboard, Lynchburg strung together five straight singles to score four runs in the frame and take a 6-3 lead.
As the rains started to pour down at BB&T Ballpark, the Hillcats added to their lead in the top of the sixth. Luke Wakamatsu led off the frame with a walk. After Kwan grounded into a fieder's choice, Austen Wade banged a double off the wall in right-center field to score Kwan and make it 7-3.
Craig Dedelow pulled the Dash closer in the bottom of the sixth. Dedelow led off the inning with a 420-foot blast onto the concourse in right-center field to make it 7-4. The solo shot was Dedelow's fifth home run of the season.
Winston-Salem pulled back within two runs of the Hillcats in the seventh. Madrigal led off the inning with a walk. After a Steele Walker popout, Fisher singled to push Madrigal to third. Remillard then walked to load the bases with one out. Then, a Robert Bloom wild pitch to Dedelow allowed Madrigal to score to make it 7-5. However, Broom retired Dedelow and Perez to preserve the two-run lead.
After Lynchburg added a run in the top of the eighth the Dash pulled back within two in the bottom half of the frame. Blackman led off the inning with a single before reaching second on a wild pitch by Jared Robinson. Madrigal then stroked his second hit of the night by singling into right field to score Blackman and make it 8-6.
However, the Hillcats added two more in the top of the ninth on a Mike Rivera double and Steven Kwan sacrifice fly to make it 10-6.
Winston-Salem will continue its three-game series with Lynchbug Wednesday morning. Right-hander Zach Lewis (2-1, 5.18 ERA) is set to take the bump for the Dash against fellow righty Nick Gallagher (1-0, 2.38 ERA) for the Hillcats. The game is the second of three Education days at BB&T Ballpark this season.
