The Asheville Tourists offensive slump continued last night as they lost 2-1 to the Charleston River Dogs. The Tourists only had six hits in the loss but only left four men on base and were zero for two with men in scoring position. The runners were just not out there for them to score. The Tourists got another strong pitching performance from right hander David Hill (six innings, one run) but he did not factor in the decision.
It is too early in the season for Tourists fans to be hitting the panic button as far as the offense goes and hopefully a return home on Thirsty Thursday will bring the bats out of their slump. The Tourists have finished near the top of the South Atlantic League for the past several seasons under hitting coach Mike Devereaux and I believe that they will come out of their slump very soon.
