Indians earn 47th win
June 16, 2006 - Carolina League (CarL1)
Kinston Indians News Release
The Kinston Indian's tied a franchise record for most wins in a half of a season, with their 46th victory of the season Friday night at Myrtle Beach. The K-Tribe (46-22), tied a mark set by the franchise in 1997.
Rodney Choy Foo started off the beach party with a solo home run in the fourth inning, his first homer of the season. In the fifth inning, Argenis Reyes lead off with a walk, stole second and then advanced to third on an error. Jordan Brown brought Reyes home with a sacrifice fly, giving Kinston a 2-0 lead.
It got down to nail biting time in the ninth, when an error and a hit put runners at first and third with no outs in the bottom of the ninth for Myrtle Beach. With Kinston clinging to a 2-1 lead, a pop out on an attempted squeeze play and a 6-4-3 double play ended the game as Kinston held on for win number 46. T.J. Burton picked up his 12th save of the season. Joe Ness (6-3), notched the win, going 6.2 innings, giving up three hits and no earned runs.
Kinston tries to break the franchise record tomorrow as Scott Lewis heads to the Hill for game two of the three game series, 7:02 start time.
