Kinston Indians News Release
The Kinston Indians cruised to a 9-2 victory late Sunday night over the Lynchburg Hillcats to keep pace with Winston-Salem in the 2011 second half playoff chase.
Despite a tough travel day and late appearance in Lynchburg the K-Tribe wasted no time in getting to Lynchburg starter Caleb Brewer. Tyler Holt managed to draw a walk to lead off the first. The next batter, Jordan Casas had to work harder for his, but did draw a free pass one pitch after Holt stole second base. Adam Abraham worked the count full before reaching first on the third walk in a row. Jeremie Tice made Brewer pay for the walks by promptly blasting his 11th homer of the season beyond the left field wall to tie Kinston to a 4-0 early lead. Two more walks were issued in the inning, but no more runs came home for the Indians.
After leading off the third with a walk, Jesus Aguilar added to Kinston's total by coming home on Delvi Cid's two out single.
With two men on in the fourth, Tyler Cannon singled to right to bring home Adam Abraham. Delvi Cid and Tyler Holt both scored in the fifth, thanks to Abraham's two rbi single.
Clayton Cook had more than enough support, allowing just one run on four hits over five full innings. The only blemish on Cook's line came in the second inning. With two outs Barrett Kleinknecht managed a solo home run to put the Hillcats on the scoreboard. Cook struck out two while walking one and won his ninth game of the year, remaining Kinston's winningest pitcher this season.
Toru Murata allowed one run in three innings of relief and Preston Guilmet finished the game with a perfect ninth.
Eight Kinston batters got in on the hit parade while six separate K-Tribers scored at least one run. Toru Murata's scoreless inning streak came to a close in the eighth. Todd Cunningham scored as the first run Murata allowed since the 15th of May, a streak totaling 25 and one third innings, a 2011 Kinston best.
Kinston had the leadoff man reach base in six of the first seven innings. Five of the 12 men walked, came around to score for the K-Tribe.
The Indians and Hillcats play the finale of a shortened two game make-up series on Monday night at 5:00 pm. Francisco Jimenez is set to get the start for Kinston.
