Carolina 9, Huntsville 2

Zebulon, NC --- After being outscored 18 runs by the Huntsville Stars in the first three game of the series, the Carolina Mudcats continued their offensive explosion Wednesday night with a 9-2 victory at Five County Stadium.     

The Mudcats were held scoreless the first two frames of the game but scored a run in every consecutive inning since the third.     

Third baseman Lee Mitchell led the Mudcats with three RBI off two hits including a two run homer to left field. Mitchell leads the team eight homers and 29 RBI on the year and is two shy of leading the Southern League in dingers. Catcher Brett Hayes and Left fielder Vince Harrison also knocked out two hits apiece for the Mudcats (16-24), who ended up with 11 on the night.    

Mudcats starting pitcher Jesus Delgado (W, 3-3) overcame a shaky first couple innings before retiring 10 consecutive Stars hitters. Delgado allowed four hits, one earned run, and struck out five in six innings.     

Stars pitcher Lindsay Gulin (L, 1-1) made his second Southern League appearance of the season a little worse than the first. The 30 year-old journeyman starter lasted five innings and allowed four earned runs including a solo shot to Harrison in the fifth.   

Harvey Garcia, Scott Tyler, and Scott Nester all pitched one inning in relief.   

The Mudcats, winners of two straight, knocked the Stars (19-19) out of first place in the North. The team will travel down Interstate 95 where they will take on the second place Jacksonville Suns for a five game series. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 at Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville tomorrow night.
