Sevierville, TN --- Tennessee scored four times in the third inning to defeat Carolina 4-1 at Smokies Park on Wednesday night.

The Smokies (26-28) batted around in handing Manu Olivera (L, 2-1) his first Double-A loss. Olivera walked three hitters after fanning the pitcher, then permitted an infield single to Jamie D'Antona, followed by a two-run single to center later in the inning by Jon Zeringue.

Carolina (26-28) dropped into a third place tie with the Smokies after losing for the third time in four games in the series. The Mudcats also fell to 2-7 at Smokies Park.

The Mudcats' offense only managed five hits in the game, which was delayed 50 minutes from the original start time. Two of the five hits were consecutive to open the game, by Alejandro DeAza and Jamie Athas, however Carolina could only score one unearned run against Smokies starter Ross Ohlendorf (W, 3-3) thanks to a throwing error by second baseman Danny Richar.

The Mudcats send Adam Bostick to the mound on Thursday night to close the 10-game road trip at 7:15 PM ET.
