Kinston Indians News Release
A night of comebacks was won in the end by the K-Tribe on a bases loaded infield single by Stephen Head for a 3-2 Kinston win. Lynchburg Reliever Yoann Torrealba (4-4), picked up the loss, walking three of the first four batters he faced in the bottom of the ninth; loading the bases for the Head infield single. With two strikes on him, Head chopped a pitch barely a third of the way down the third base line, just out of the grasp of the Hillcats catcher and allowing Micah Schilling to score. The walk off win put a damper on a Lynchburg comeback, as the Hillcats scored two runs in the top of the ninth to tie the score at two.
Ryan Knippschild (3-1) picked up the win, pitching to two Hillcat batters after the Lynchburg comeback in the ninth. Jensen Lewis got his fourth straight no decision, giving up six hits and striking out five in 5.1 innings. Reid Santos, picked up his fifth hold of the season pitching 2.2 innings of hitless ball.
Kinston won its 44th game of the first half, now just three wins away from setting the franchise record for wins in the first half of the season. The K-Tribe will play a double header of two seven inning games starting tomorrow at 5PM. Chuck Lofgren will start game one, with Scott Roehl set to start game two Wednesday at Grainger Stadium.
