Brandon Pinckney and Nathan Panther each hit solo home runs for the K-Tribe, but the Indians were unable to hold on late losing 3-2 to Lynchburg on Friday night. Lynchburg won the game on a bases loaded squeeze play in the bottom of the ninth inning. With Matt Meath pinch running at third, Lynchburg's Justin Harris laid down a perfect bunt down the first base line, scoring Meath and winning the game in walk off style. Lynchburg tied the game in the bottom of the eighth with a bases loaded RBI by Dan Schwartzbauer.

The Hillcat comeback ruins a great starting performance by the K-Tribes Joe Ness, who tied a season high by going six and two-thirds innings. Ness gave up four hits and one earned run while striking out four. Cody Bunkelman (2-1), took the loss for Kinston giving up four hits and an earned run in one and one-third innings of relief. Steven Duguay (7-1), picked up the win for Lynchburg.

The K-Tribe's Stephen Head went one for four tonight, making his consecutive on base streak now at 30 games. The streak is the third longest in the Carolina League this year. Kinston takes on the Hillcats tomorrow in game two of this three game series at 7:05 PM, Scott Lewis will take the mound for the K-Tribe.
