From staff reports
The Kannapolis Intimidators rallied for five runs in the ninth inning and beat Asheville 8-4 on Monday at McCormick Field .
Kannapolis (24-26 second falf, 59-60 overall) snapped a four-game losing skid by sending 10 men to the plate in the ninth.
Trailing 4-3, Ryan Leonards led off the top of the ninth with a pinch-hit single off Asheville closer Josh Michalec, and Hunter Jones was hit by a pitch to put the tying run on second base. Following a Michael Suiter sac-bunt, Louie Lechich dribbled a ball back to Michalec, who whiffed on a glove-flip home which allowed the tying run to score. One batter later, Alexander Simon gave Kannapolis a 5-4 lead with a base hit through the right side to score Jones. Michalec committed two more errors, failing to pick up balls in front of the mound, which led to a pair of runs, and Sean O’Connell added a sac-fly for the 8-4 lead.
Lechich drove in three runs for Kannapolis, including a pair on his fifth home run of the season.
Alexander Simon pounded out three hits and drove in two runs.
The Intimidators continue the three-game series on Tuesday at 7:05 p.m.
