Columbia Upended, 5-1, by Asheville
The Asheville Tourists knocked off the Columbia Fireflies, 5-1, in South Atlantic League action at Spirit Communications Park. Asheville pitcher and Tulsa, Oklahoma, native Cy Olsen had an outstanding performance. The winning pitcher was Olsen, now 4-4. He tossed 6.2 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 6. Picking up the save was 21-year old right-handed pitcher Luis Bugarin.

Bobby Gardner had a big 2-run triple for the Tourists in the top of the third inning. With Asheville leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a splitter from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Diego Lujan and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 2nd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Tourists ahead, 4-0.

"I just kind of blacked out and executed my pitches," said Olsen.

Asheville now sits at 61-42, while Columbia falls to 54-49.
