Tourists Win Again, 8-3, Extend Streak to 6
Tourists third baseman Layant Pierce left his imprint on his team's 8-3 win over the Columbia Fireflies. Pierce went 2-2 with 2 singles and a walk for Asheville in the contest. Jan Stead picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 6-3. Seth Bollenbacher collected save number 1.

The Fireflies had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Tourists going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old right fielder Brandon Peeples came to the plate. Peeples hit a 2-run double on a first pitch slider from Columbia hurler Ricky Palencia. It was Peeples's 5th double of the year.

"Hitting is contagious. And when you have a lineup that's going to throw out competitive at-bats one through nine, it makes you want to join in," said Pierce.

The win elevated the Tourists to 31-19.
