Kinston Indians News Release
Kinston's Lonnie Chisenhall hit a game tying single in the bottom of the ninth inning to send it to extra frames, but it wasn't enough as Frederick upended Kinston 6-4 in ten innings Friday night at Historic Grainger Stadium.
Kinston took an early lead thanks to a two-out RBI single by Matt Brown in the first inning and a two-out RBI double by Johnny Drennen in the second inning. Kinston would keep a 3-2 lead until the top of the eighth inning when Frederick's Brandon Waring hit a two-run home run off of Kinston reliever Garrison Campfield. The bomb was Waring's second homer of the game and gave the Keys a 4-3 lead. Kinston would come back in the bottom of the ninth inning as Drennen singled with one out. After a Cord Phelps walk, Chisenhall (2-for-3, two walks, run, rbi) drove Drennen home with an RBI single to tie the score at four. After Kinston reliever Kyle Landis recorded the first two outs of the tenth inning, Frederick got four straight singles from Billy Killian, David Cash, Pedro Florimon and Matt Angle. Landis (0-1) took the loss for Kinston. Jonathan Holt was solid in a spot start for Kinston, going four innings and giving up just one earned run. Chen-Chang Lee and Dallas Cawiezell also pitched from the K-Tribe pen.
The loss is Kinston's (17-18) fifth straight, dropping them below the five hundred mark for the first time since April 25th. Kinston will take on Frederick for game two of the three game series Saturday night at 7pm. Ryan Morris will get the start for the K-Tribe.
