Kinston Indians News Release
The Wilmington Blue Rocks used a big bomb by slugger Clint Robinson to beat Kinston 4-2 Wednesday afternoon at Historic Grainger Stadium.
With the game tied at two in the top of the fourth inning, Robinson hit a solo home run over the scoreboard in right-center field. It was his seventh home run of the season. Wilmington would add some insurance with another solo shot in the sixth inning, this one by Jeff Bianchi.
After Wilmington scored two runs on three hits in the top of the first inning, Kinston got to work in the second. Four straight one-out hits tied the score at two as Richard Martinez and Nate Recknagel drove in Ronald Rivas and Adam Davis. Wilmington starter Everett Teaford would settle down after that, not giving another hit through his final four innings of work. Teaford (6-1) got the win, striking out seven and walking three.
Starter Paolo Espino (1-2) picked up the loss for Kinston, giving up six hits and all four earned runs. He struck out seven and walked none. Kyle Landis was great from the K-Tribe bullpen, giving up just one hit in two innings. Garrison Campfield pitched a perfect ninth inning for Kinston. K-Tribe pitchers combined for no walks on the afternoon while striking out nine.
The K-Tribe hits the road for a four game set at Winston-Salem starting on Thursday night. Kinston will send Russell Young to the mound for the 7pm start.
