The Dash snuck by Kinston 3-1 Friday night in Winston-Salem.
Justin Collop got the spot start for Winston-Salem, not giving up a run in three innings of work. Collop was helped out by a run saving diving catch by center fielder Jared Mitchell. The catch robbed Kinston's Casey Frawley of a hit that would have driven in two runs in the third inning. Collop was replaced in the fourth inning by J.R. Ballinger.
T.J. House had a strong start for Kinston, limiting Winston-Salem to just one hit through the first three innings. In the fourth inning, Dash lead-off man Tyler Saladino reached on a single, then stole both second and third base. He scored on a Jose Martinez RBI ground-out. Kinston would even the score in the top of the fifth when Tyler Cannon led off with a single and Doug Pickens followed with a double. Holt would drive in Cannon with a ground-out.
The Dash would break the tie in the bottom of the frame starting with back-to-back doubles from Andy Wilkins and Jake Oester. Jason Bour would hit a run scoring single later in the evening to give Winston-Salem a 3-1 lead.
House turned in the longest outing of the season for Kinston while picking up his sixth loss of the season. House (2-6) allowed three earned runs over 7 1/3 innings, his longest career outing. The K-Tribe left hander walked one and struck out four. Jose Flores got the final two outs of the eighth inning for Kinston.
The counterpart of House, Justin Collop, did not last long enough to pick up a decision. With Collop gone after three innings, J.R. Ballinger was awarded for lasting through the sixth with his second win. Ballinger allowed one run on three hits and struck out two batters.
