First Win Of The Season

The Asheville Tourists earned their first win of the season last night in the first game of a doubleheader against the Delmarva Shorebirds 8-4 before losing the nightcap 8-2.

Delta Cleary, Jr., David Kandilas, and Sam Mende were the offensive stars in the game all driving in two runs a piece. Jefri Hernandez got the win in relief of Chris Jensen and Kenneth Roberts struck out the side in the 7th inning to close it out.

Jared Simon hit the Asheville Tourists first homerun of the season in the 8-2 loss in the nightcap as the Tourists only scratched out 6 hits. Walks were once again a problem for Tourists pitchers as they issued 8 in 7 innings after giving up 9 in the first game of the season. I would have to say it is a feeling out process going on between some young pitchers and catchers that are not used to each other yet.
