CHARLESTON, S.C. – Sacrifice flies took center stage Thursday night in a South
Atlantic League pitcher’s duel. Piedmont’s Brad Baisley and Charleston, S.C., starter Delvin James
shut down the opposing offenses, but the RiverDogs got the win in the bottom of the ninth
when Efrain Alamo led off the inning with a triple and scored on Brandon Backe’s long
fly ball.
Boll Weevil reliever Jonathan Rose
(0-2) took the loss for the Class A minor league team of the Philadelphia Phillies.
James threw eight innings of
four-hit ball. The only run he surrendered came in the second inning when Nate Espy
doubled and came home on Jorge Padilla’s sac fly. The Boll Weevils (26-21) stranded
just two runners.
Charleston (26-22), Tampa
Bay’s A team, collected six hits off Baisley and scored in the first inning on a
groundout.
