WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Winston-Salem Dash dropped the series finale to the Rome Braves 3-2.

The Dash took the early lead, in the bottom of the first inning. Ben Norman and Bryan Ramos both singled with one out to put men on first and second base. Next, Luis Mieses smoked a double to the right-center field gap, which scored Norman to put Winston-Salem ahead 1-0.

From there, Rome starter Royber Salinas settled in nicely. He worked through the next four innings without allowing a run, while walking just two and fanning seven Dash hitters.

The Braves were able to reward Salinas' effort with a rally in the top of the fifth. With one out,

Beau Philip walked and stole second, then Zade Richardson walked as well. Chase Plymell then relieved Tommy Sommer for the Dash, but Willie Carter singled to drive home Philip, and tie the game at 1-1. Plymell induced a pop out, but then a wild pitch allowed both base runners to advance to second and third base. Then, Cal Conley drove both runners in with an RBI double to center field, which put Rome in the lead 3-1.

Neither side could scratch across a run in the sixth or seventh inning. But in the eighth, Ben Norman cranked a solo home run over the wall in center field, to pull Winston-Salem to within a run. However, the Dash were retired in order in the ninth inning as the Braves secured a 3-2 win.
