Maldonado Slugs Legends to 5-2 Win
Lexington designated hitter Juan Maldonado helped his team beat the Columbia Fireflies, 5-2. Maldonado, who is tied for 7th in the SAL in RBI with 47, went 3 for 4 for the Legends. The winning pitcher was 23-year old right-handed pitcher Kyle Runyon. He tossed 94 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. Chad Belz earned the save for Lexington, his 4th of the year.

The Fireflies had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Legends going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old right fielder Alex Torres came to the plate. Torres hit a run-scoring double on a 1-0 splitter from Columbia hurler Gavin Jones. It was Torres's 15th double of the year.

Lexington manager Rich Freedland said his team played a "no nonsense" game.

Lexington goes to 70-31. The win puts them 17 games up in their division.
