Kinston Indians News Release
The K-Tribe's magic number to clinch a first half Southern Division title is now three, with eleven games to go, as the Indians upended Wilmington 3-1 Wednesday night in Delaware.
Errors told the story in this one, as it was truly a game that Wilmington gave away. With the score tied at one in the sixth inning, Trevor Crowe mashed a one out triple to the right field corner. Brian Barton then hit an infield pop-up, that second baseman Jeff Natale misplayed, allowing Crowe to score, making the score 2-1. Crowe scored on another error in the eighth inning, when a double play ball was misplayed by the pitcher. Crowe was 3-3 with three runs scored, as he got the K-Tribe going in the first by walking, stealing a base, and then scoring on an RBI double by Brian Barton.
20-year-old Chris "Doodle" Hicks (2-0), picked up his second win of the season, pitching 3.2 innings of relief and giving up just two hits. The K-Tribe's record is now 41-18, the second best record in all of minor league baseball.
The Indians return home to Grainger stadium Thursday night a 7PM against Myrtle Beach. The game starts a seven day, eight game home stand for the K-Tribe. 20-year-old Chuck Lofgren, leading the minor leagues in wins with nine, will take the mound for Kinston.
