Kinston Falls 4-2 in 10 Innings
May 7, 2010 - Carolina League (CarL1)
Kinston Indians News Release
A two-out, two-run double by Michael Burgess in the 10th inning sent the K-Tribe to a 4-2 loss to Potomac on Friday night at Historic Grainger Stadium.
Kinston starter Alex White had another strong outing, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits in 6 and one-third inning. He struck out 7 and walked just 1, but got a no-decision. The K-Tribe scored first on an RBI double by Ronald Rivas in the second inning to score Karexon Sanchez. Potomac answered in the fifth as Steve Lombardozzi's RBI groundout tied the game at 1.
The Indians took a 2-1 lead in the fifth as P-Nats reliever Patrick Lehman surrendered a bases-loaded walk to Richard Martinez. However, the K-Tribe still had the bases loaded with no outs and could not add to the lead. Potomac tied the game in the seventh inning on a Chris Curran RBI single.
Solid relief pitching forced extra innings in Kinston for the first time this season. K-Tribe reliever Matt Langwell walked two batters in the extra frame and then with two out, Burgess ripped a double to the wall in centerfield to plate both runners. Cole Kimball came on to bitch the bottom of the tenth and earn his fourth save of the season.
Lehman (1-0) took the win, allowing 1 run over 5 innings, while Langwell (1-1) was the losing pitcher. The two teams meet up again on Saturday night at 7 pm with T.J. House on the rubber for Kinston.
