Gwinnett Stripers News Release


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Joe Hudson and Braden Shewmake hammered a pair of two-run home runs for the Gwinnett Stripers (64-72), but the Worcester Red Sox (74-63) cranked four RBI doubles in a five-run fourth to jump in front and win 6-4 on Sunday afternoon at Coolray Field.

Decisive Plays: A two-run homer off the bat of Shewmake (15) made it 2-0 in the third inning. RBI doubles from Ronaldo Hernandez, Niko Kavadas, Bradley Zimmer, and Narciso Crook gave the Red Sox a 5-2 lead in the fourth. A second two-run homer by Hudson (9) brought the Stripers within a run in the sixth. An insurance run by Worcester made it 6-4 in the seventh, a score that held until the end.

Key Contributors: Hudson (2-for-4, double, homer, 2 RBIs) and Shewmake (1-for-4, homer, 2 RBIs) combined to drive in all four Stripers runs. Dalton Guthrie had the other multi-hit game for Gwinnett.
