Kinston Indians News Release
Ole Sheldon drove in every Kinston run, as the K-Tribe beat Frederick 5-1 Tuesday night in Maryland. Sheldon went 2-for-3 with a season high five RBI.
In the top of the first inning Tim Fedroff and Cord Phelps drew back-to-back, one-out walks. Ole Sheldon then got the green light, taking a 3-0 pitch over the wall in center for his team leading 13th home run of the season. After a solo home run by Frederick's Bobby Stevens made the score 3-1 after one inning, Sheldon struck again with an RBI single in the third. The Sheldon single drove in Lucas Montero, who walked to lead off the inning. Kinston would manufacture another run in the top of the eighth inning when Fedroff led off with a walk, stole second, and then advanced to third on a Phelps ground-out. That set the table again for Ole, who drove a deep sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Fedroff. Kinston managed just three hits in the game, two by Sheldon.
Kinston's pitching was again dominant, as Paolo Espino (8-6) picked up the win. Espino went five innings, giving up just two hits and one run. Espino walked a season high four and struck out six. The bullpen was brilliant, as Chen-Chang Lee, Bryce Stowell and Kyle Landis combined to throw four scoreless innings. The trio gave up a total of just two hits, striking out seven, while not walking a batter. Frederick managed just four hits on the night.
Winners of five of their last six games, the K-Tribe will take on Frederick for the middle game of the three game set Wednesday night in Maryland. Game time 7pm as Kinston newcomer Nick Hagadone takes the mound for the Indians.
