The Asheville Tourists topped the Kannapolis Intimidators, 6-5, in 10 innings at McCormick Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Asheville pitcher Ross Smolnik. Luis Bugarin notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 3.1 innings. His record now sits at 2-4. By defeating Kannapolis, the first-place Tourists improved to 51-32.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bobby Gardner in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a 2-run home run off 27-year old left-handed pitcher Bill Marean to win the game for Asheville. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place went bonkers at the end," Gardner said.
