Pawtucket Red Sox News Release
DURHAM, N.C. - The PawSox (44-58) defeated the Durham Bulls (59-45), completing the sweep by a score of 3-1. Kyle Hart pitched extremely well tonight, spinning six innings of two-hit work.
The Bulls started out first, scoring 1 run in the bottom of the 6th. Dalton Kelly hit a leadoff double, before being driven in by a Joe McCarthy sacrifice fly.
Pawtucket would come back thought thanks to Chris Owings. He smashed a three-run home run to drive in Jantzen Witte, who singled and Gorkys Hernandez, who walked. This was Chris Owings fifth straight game with a home run - the first Pawtucket player to homer in five straight games since 1999.
