Asheville Tourists News Release
ASHEVILLE - The Asheville Tourists were unable to make it two wins in a row against the Rome Braves on Wednesday night. The visitors cruised to a 10-4 win at McCormick Field and evened up the series at one game apiece.
Asheville fell behind 2-0 but rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the second inning. Cristian Gonzalez singled and C.J. Stubbs walked to put two runners aboard for Luis Santana. The Tourists second baseman ripped a game-tying double down the left field line to even the score.
In the third, Asheville took the lead on a similar two-run double off the bat of Gonzalez. Unfortunately, that would be the last hit the Tourists would record in the game. Rome rattled off two runs in the fourth, four more in the fifth, and plated a pair in the sixth to put the game away.
The Tourists did load the bases with no outs in the seventh inning thanks to a hit by pitch and two walks; however, they were unable to capitalize. Jose Betances pitched 2.2 scoreless innings out of the Asheville bullpen down the stretch and struck out five.
Both teams are back in action for a special Beer City Thirsty Thursday game at McCormick Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:35pm ET.
