Winston-Salem Dash News Release
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (Aug. 2, 2019) - Kade McClure earned a quality start by allowing just two runs across six innings, but the Dash ultimately fell 2-1 to the Carolina Mudcats on Friday night at BB&T Ballpark.
In his 11th start with Winston-Salem (19-22, 57-48), McClure (2-3) notched his sixth quality outing. However, Carolina (18-24, 56-55) limited the Dash bats to just one run.
Winston-Salem struck first against Carolina starter Christian Taugner (5-7) in the bottom of the first. To lead off the frame, Steele Walker smacked a triple into right field. The next batter, Mitch Roman, blooped a single into left field to score Walker and make it 1-0.
The Mudcats responded in the top of the second. With two outs, Pat McInerney belted a solo homer to left field, knotting the score at one.
Carolina claimed the lead in the next inning. Starting a two-out rally, Mario Feliciano doubled off the top of the wall in left field. Tristen Lutz then bounced a single into left field, scoring Feliciano to make it 2-1.
Winston-Salem threatened in the bottom of the ninth against Carolina reliever Michael Petersen. Johan Cruz reached on an error to lead off the inning before Petersen stuck out two straight Dash hitters. Then, Evan Skoug drew a walk to put runners at first and second. However, Petersen induced a groundout from Walker to end the ballgame.
The Dash continue their three-game set with the Carolina Mudcats on Saturday afternoon. Left-hander Konnor Pilkington (2-8, 5.98 ERA) will take the hill for Winston-Salem against right-hander Matt Smith (4-8, 3.29 ERA). First pitch is set for 4 p.m., and fans can catch all of the action on wsdash.com/broadcast, MiLB.tv and the TuneIn Radio App.
