Kinston Indians News Release
Ole Sheldon hit his eight home run of the season as Kinston scored nine unanswered runs to beat Salem 9-1 in game two of a four game series from Historic Grainger Stadium.
Kinston trailed 1-0 heading into the bottom of the third inning when Tim Fedroff (2-for-5) singled in Adam Davis and Alex Castillo to give the Indians a 2-1 lead.
The K-Tribe would add four more in the sixth inning started by a Lonnie Chisenhall (1-for-3) RBI double to drive in Fedroff. It was Chisenhall's Carolina Leading 79th RBI this season. The next batter was Sheldon who lined his eighth home run over the left center field wall to break the game open and give Kinston the 5-1 lead. They would add another in the frame on a Davis (1-for-3) RBI single to knock in Cord Phelps.
Kinston's final scoring frame came in the eighth when the Indians batted around, scoring three runs on three hits and three walks. After the bases were loaded with nobody out, Ronald Rivas hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Chisenhall. Then with two away, Doug Pickens (1-for-4) hit a bloop two RBI single to score Sheldon and Phelps and make the game 9-1 K-Tribe.
Kinston got a solid start from Mike McGuire, who worked four and 1/3 innings, allowing one run on five hits, two walks and a season high six strikeouts. Bryce Stowell (3-5) came in for relief and didn't give up a hit in three and 2/3 innings, walking two and striking out three.
The win made it four straight for Kinston, tying a season-high. The last time the Indians won four in a row was May 7-9th.
The Indians will try to make it five in a row tomorrow night with Scott Barnes taking the mound for game three. Game time set for 7 pm.
