Joe Mack was the star in a game full of them, finishing the contest with 4-for-6 with seven runs batted in including a grand slam.
Josh Zamora had his second big game in a row, hitting two home runs and driving in five runs. Brett Roberts was a triple shy of the cycle, and Mark Coley finished with three hits, including his second home run in as many days since joining the squad.
Jacob Miller went the first 4 1-3 innings on the mound and allowed just one run, while a trio of Sky Carp relievers finished things off on a breezy, cool day at ABC Supply Stadium.
Yeuris Jimenez (1-0) was credited with the win after allowing a run in 1 1-3 innings. The Sky Carp moved to 4-0 at home on the season.
