Kinston Indians News Release
Donnie Webb hit two solo home runs and Nick Hagadone and T.J. McFarland combined to shutout Lynchburg as the K-Tribe won 2-0 on Thursday night in Lynchburg. The win snapped a five-game losing streak for Kinston.
Webb drilled his first home run of the season on the first pitch he saw in the first inning, a blast to right field that gave the Indians a 1-0 lead. Then, leading off the fourth, Webb again took the first offering from starter Scott Carroll (0-2) and hammered it over the right field wall for the K-Tribe's second and final run.
On the mound for the K-Tribe, starter Nick Hagadone and T.J. McFarland combined on a five-hit shutout, giving Kinston their league-leading third shutout of the season. McFarland (3-0) earned the win, pitching the final 5 innings and giving up four hits while striking out two. Hagadone allowed one hit and struck out six in four innings of work.
Kinston returns home for a quick three-game set on Friday night when the Potomac Nationals come to town. Greenville native and former UNC Tar Heel Alex White will be on the mound for the K-Tribe.
