Winston-Salem Dash News Release
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The Woodpeckers took an early lead against the Dash and never look back on Friday, as Winston-Salem fell against Fayetteville 4-0 in a six-inning, rain-shortened contest at Segra Stadium.
Jeremy Pena led off the bottom of the first with a triple against Dash starter Zach Lewis (5-4), and Corey Julks followed with a walk. After Chandler Taylor struck out, Jake Adams bounced into a run-scoring fielder's choice to make it a 1-0 contest.
In the next frame, Pena stroked a two-run triple down the left-field line to up Fayetteville's (11-11, 42-49) advantage to three. Lewis delivered a 1-2-3 inning in the third, but the Woodpeckers added on their final tally in the fourth. Enmanuel Valdez hit a one-out double, and, two batters later, Ross Adolph lined an RBI triple down the left-field line to up the Woodpeckers edge to four.
Lewis ended up going six innings, yielding five hits and four runs while walking two and striking out six. It marked the second consecutive outing Lewis went six frames.
Jojanse Torres (3-0) earned the victory, allowing three hits while walking four and striking out three. Tanner Duncan pitched the last full inning for the Woodpeckers, recording a scoreless sixth. Overall, the Dash (10-13, 48-39) managed just four hits in the loss. Rain halted play for good during the top of the seventh, marking the second straight game that was cut short by rain.
Winston-Salem now hits the road for a three-game set against Down East starting on Saturday at Grainger Stadium. Right-hander Jorgan Cavanerio (5-0, 2.93 ERA) takes the hill for the Dash against Woodies righty Alex Eubanks (8-2, 2.17 ERA). First pitch is set for 6 p.m., and fans can catch all of the action on wsdash.com/broadcast and the TuneIn Radio App.
