The K-Tribe could not hold a second inning lead on Sunday afternoon, falling 5-2 in the final regular season meeting with Wilmington.

Four of Kinston's five hits came off of Wilmington's starter Noel Arguelles, who held Kinston to two runs through six innings. Sundays sweep securing finale only took two hours and nine minutes to complete.
