Kinston Indians News Release
The Kinston Indians have their four-game win streak snapped at the hands of the Salem Avalanche, who won 7-4, to salvage the finale of a three game series. Salem never trailed in the game after scoring two in the second and two in the fourth.
The Indians scored a run in the third, and drew even in the sixth. A leadoff walk from Niuman Romero and singles by Cirilo Cumberbatch and Jason Denham loaded the bases with nobody out. Brian Juhl smacked a two-run single and Cristo Arnal got an RBI groundout to knot things up at four runs apiece.
The big blow came in the sixth as Mark Ori cleared the bases with a three-run double off Dan Cevette to put Salem up for good. The runs were charged to Carlton Smith (4-4) who lost his second straight start going five and a third and allowing a season-high seven runs.
The night was mired by ejections as Kinston manager Chris Tremie got the boot in the fourth inning. Tremie was tossed after arguing a play which saw Cumberbatch get called out trying to come home on a wild pitch. K-Tribe's Mike Pontius and Salem's Mark Ori were both thrown out in the eighth inning.
Despite the loss, Kinston wins their second series in a row. The K-Tribe has now won 14 of their last 19 games and starts a four-game set at Lynchburg on Thursday night. Jeanmar Gomez (2-6) takes the hill for Kinston in the series opener.
