HAGERSTOWN, Md. — If Boll Weevil Brad Baisley’s no-hit pitching, performance was solid gold on Thursday night, Friday’s outing by the next man in the Piedmont rotation was sterling Silva.

Carlos Silva boosted his record to 10-7 with six strong innings. He allowed only one earned run, as the Weevils thrashed Hagerstown 6-1 in South Atlantic League baseball.

The “Silva Fox” craftily fanned three and walked just one.

Randy Espina earned the save with three hitless innings of relief.

Jeremy Salazar paced the Weevils’ offense with three hits, while Alex Fajardo and Brian Bush had two hits each. Jerry Connell knocked in two runs.

But this night belonged to Silva, who likely received a “Silva Star” or at least a “Silva certificate” for his award-winning effort.

Piedmont is 23-23 for the SAL’s second half and 59-58 on the year.

Hagerstown is 23-24, 71-47.
