Jameson Fisher and Johan Cruz began the rally with back-to-back walks in the eighth, and JJ Muno followed by reaching on a fielder's choice to load the bases. Then, Yeyson Yrizarri lined a two-run single to left to cut the deficit to two. In the ninth, the Dash broke through against Andrew Schwaab. With one out, Carlos Perez, Fisher and Cruz hit consecutive singles to load the bases for Muno. Then, Muno grounded a two-run single into right to knot the score at six. After a bunt single from Yrizarri reloaded the bases, Frost drew a bases-loaded walk to give the Dash a 7-6 lead.
RECAPPING THE FIRST HALF
With a victory against Carolina on June 16, Winston-Salem clinched its third-best first-half winning percentage (.594) in the Dash era (2009-present).

FIVE OUT OF 10 IN THE SECOND HALF
