Loman hit all three of his home runs off of Greensboro starter Tom Koehler, lifting his season total to seven long balls in 81 at-bats. All three were solo shots.
NewBridge Bank Park is traditionally considered a hitter-friendly yard, but Loman did not need the help, crushing three balls to right-center.
Justin Greene got the Intimidators offense going with a solo home run to lead off the first.
Kannapolis plated the winning runs in the top of the tenth off of Greensboro’s all-star closer Pete Andrelczyk (0-1). Eduardo Escobar singled to score Jose Vargas, before right fielder Justin Bass overran the ball and allowed John Curtis to plate an insurance run.
Charlis Burdie (4-4) fired two perfect frames for the win.
