Newport native Lonnie Chisenhall went 4-for-5 with a grand slam home run, as Kinston lost a wild one to Salem 10-9 Monday night in Virginia. Chisenhall was a triple short of the cycle, hitting two singles, a double and the big home run. Three of Chisenhall's five home runs have been grand slams this season; he is now hitting .296 on the year with 24 RBI.
After Salem scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning, Chisenhall's big blast gave Kinston a 5-4 lead. With the K-Tribe up 6-4 in the bottom of the fourth inning, Salem batted around scoring five runs and chasing Kinston starter Ryan Morris from the game. Morris (1-3) went 2 1/3 innings, giving up six hits and nine earned runs. He walked four and struck out three. Down 9-6 after three innings, Kinston's bullpen held serve as Jonathan Holt, Kyle Landis and Garrison Campfield combined for 5 2/3 inning of five hit, one run ball.
The K-Tribe came back in the top of the ninth, when Cord Phelps and Chisenhall led off the inning with back to back hits. After a Matt McBride strikeout and a Matt Brown lineout, Adam Davis sent a two-RBI single down the left field line making the score 10-9. Davis advanced to second on a wild pitch, but Roman Pena struck out to end the game. Kinston (13-12) falls to one game back of Salem (14-11) for first place in the Carolina League Southern Division.
