Carolina 4, Tennessee 2
Zebulon, NC- The Carolina Mudcats (29-49, 2-7) have their first winning streak of the second half thanks to a 4-2 win over the Tennessee Smokies (41-35, 5-4)Tuesday night at Five County Stadium.
Scott Nestor and Chris Mobley came in to hold a two run lead for three innings to give starter James Russ (W, 1-2) his first victory on the year. Russ pitched six innings, allowing just two earned runs. Russ ran into problems in the sixth with the bases loaded and just one out. The Concord, NC native eluded trouble thanks to a Taylor-made 6-4-3 double play turned by Chase Lambin and Eric Riggs.
His counterpart Mark Holliman also found himself in trouble in the sixth, but wasn’t as lucky. Mudcats centerfielder Jonny Raburn had two runners on with one out and pulled the ball down the right field line to give Carolina a 4-2 lead. Holliman (L, 7-6, 2.74) picks up the loss in 5 1/3 innings.
The Mudcats would never look back as Nestor came in to pitch two scoreless innings, and Mobley nails his second save with a scoreless ninth.
Carolina started the scoring in the first inning when catcher Brett Hayes beat out a fielder’s choice to score Raburn from third. Tennessee would bounce back in the top of the second with an RBI single off the bat of catcher Chris Robinson. Second baseman Gary Cates hit a one out solo home run in the third to give the Smokies a one run lead.
The Mudcats continue their series with Tennessee Wednesday night at 7:15 PM ET with Rick Vanden Hurk (2-2, 4.05) pitching against Donnie Veal (4-5, 5.91).
