Gwinnett Stripers News Release


LAWRENCEVILLE, Georgia - Home runs by Logan Davidson, Blake Sabol, and Carson Willliams backed strong pitching as the Durham Bulls (16-25) handed the Gwinnett Stripers (25-16) a 7-2 loss on Wednesday afternoon at Gwinnett Field. The six-game series is tied 1-1.

Decisive Plays: A solo home run by Davidson (5) and a two-run homer from Sabol (6) in the fifth inning helped propel the Bulls to a 4-0 lead against Victor Mederos (L, 1-1). The Stripers scored in the bottom of the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Brewer Hicklen and an error on a grounder from Aaron Schunk to cut it to 4-2. Gwinnett went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position, however, stranding two on base in the fifth and failing to score with two on and one out in the seventh. RBI hits from Cooper Kinney and Davidson, along with a solo home run from Williams (5) extended the Durham lead to 7-2, where it finished.

Key Contributors: Hicklen (0-for-2, RBI) tallied Gwinnett's lone RBI. Mederos worked four scoreless innings before exiting in the fifth trailing 3-0. Jonathan Heasley (W, 2-2) fanned two batters and allowed no runs on two hits over 4.2 innings for the Bulls. Davidson (2-for-4, homer, triple, 2 RBIs) had a multi-hit day in the win.

Noteworthy: The Stripers are now 5-2 on Wednesdays and 5-7 in day games. Jim Jarvis stole two bases, raising his team-leading total to 17.
