GASTONIA, N.C - The Thomasville HiToms used a five-run fifth inning to break open a one-run game as they defeated the Gastonia Grizzles 9-4 on Thursday night at Sims Legion Park.

Leading 3-2 in the fifth, the HiToms loaded the bases with one out for Zack Briggs who singled for which was followed by Ryan Kinsella who delivered a two-run double off the wall in right and once the dust had cleared, it was a 8-2 lead for the visiting team after five.

Thomasville (1-2) scored three runs in the first inning all of the bat of Ryan Kinsella who connected for his first homer of the season. But, Gastonia (1-2) answered in the bottom half of the inning with a two-run single off Justin Vasquez's bat to trim the lead to 3-2 after one.

Conner Scarborough (W, 1-0) was shaky to start the game but settled down to work eight very strong innings striking out six to save a much beleaguered HiToms bullpen.

The HiToms tacked on an insurance run in the seventh as Matt Dillon doubled home a run for a seven advantage as the Tommies picked up the win by the 9-4 final margin.

Thomasville is back in action tomorrow night at 7:00 when they welcome the Fayetteville SwampDogs to Finch Field. Following the game, Thomasville Medical Center will present Friday night fireworks.
