COLUMBIA, S.C. - Josh Knoth worked 5.2 scoreless innings as the Carolina Mudcats used three total pitchers to combine on a two-hit shutout en route to a 6-0 win over the Columbia Fireflies on Saturday night.

Carolina (2-0 second half, 43-24 overall) got a great start from Knoth (W, 3-3) who fanned seven over his time on the bump and the bullpen took it from there, not allowing a hit over the final 3.1 innings.

The Mudcats used a balanced scoring attack banging out 12 hits and scoring in the third, fourth, fifth and eighth innings for their six runs.

Columbia (0-2 second half, 35-32 overall) went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and stranded just four on base.
