Kinston Indians News Release
Kinston starter T.J. House took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and three Indians pitchers combined on a 3-hit shutout of Myrtle Beach as the K-Tribe won 10-0 on Thursday night to take 3 out of 4 from the Pelicans. The shutout was the Carolina League-leading fifth for Indians pitching this season.
The K-Tribe bats got started in the third inning on a Jordan Henry RBI single. They would add two more in the fifth, as a Lucas Montero single followed by an error scored Ronald Rivas and moved Montero to third. Henry came through again with his second RBI single of the night to make it 3-0. The Indians came back for two more in the sixth, as Montero drilled a two-run single to put Kinston on top 5-0.
K-Tribe starter T.J. House (1-3) had the best start of his young Kinston career, pitching 7 innings and shutting out the Pelicans on one hit. The lone hit he allowed was an infield single to Cole Miles with two out in the sixth. He walked three and struck out four in his first K-Tribe win.
Pelicans starter Jose Ortegano (2-4) didn't fare as well, giving up four runs, three earned, on eight hits. He walked one and struck out three in the loss.
The K-Tribe pounded out another run on an RBI single by Nate Recknagel in the eighth before exploding for four in the ninth inning off reliever Paul Clemens. Abner Abreu hit an RBI single, Cristo Arnal scored on a fielding error, Richard Martinez added an RBI single and Kyle Bellows scored on a wild pitch.
The win was the first this season for Kinston in a four-game set, and their second consecutive series win. They have now won 6 out of 8 games, and return to Kinston on Friday night to start a 7-game homestand, starting with a three-game weekend set against the Northern Division-leading Frederick Keys. Right-hander Joe Gardner will be on the mound for the K-Tribe on Friday, with first pitch at 7 pm.
