June 14, 2018 - South Atlantic League (SAL1)
Asheville Tourists News Release
CHARLESTON- The Asheville Tourists were one fortunate official scorer ruling from being no-hit against the Charleston RiverDogs on Thursday night. Still the Tourists came up only one-run short to the RiverDogs who finished the series with a 2-1 win over Asheville.
In the top of the seventh inning, Sean bouchard hit a groundball to third base. Dermis Garcia tried to back-hand the ball behind the bag and the ball hit off his glove. The play was ruled an infield single for Bouchard. That was Asheville's only hit.
Bouchard also worked a walk in the first inning. Those two at-bats were the only instances a Tourists player earned their way aboard. Asheville actually scored the game's first run when Ryan Vilade reached on an error, took second and third on past balls, then came in on Chad Spanberger's sacrifice fly.
After Spanberger's sac fly, the Tourists started striking out left and right. Miguel Yajure struck out nine of the next ten batters he faced. Asheville struck out 13 times in the game.
Charleston managed their two runs in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI double and a Tourists throwing error. Lucas Gilbreath suffered the loss despite a great outing. Gilbreath went six innings, allowed only one earned run, and struck out seven. Erick Julio followed with two scoreless innings of his own.
