Tourists Pin 1-0 Loss on Rome
Dusty Hammock pitched well, but his team, the Rome Braves, still dropped a 1-0 decision to the Asheville Tourists at State Mutual Stadium. Ross Smolnik, the winner, goes to 7-7. He allowed no runs on 5 hits, with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts over 6 innings. The save went to Luis Bugarin, number 12 for him.

Aaron Cruse, who is tied for 10th in the SAL with a .279 batting average, had a direct impact on the outcome. Cruse contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Asheville up, 1-0.

"It's not about individual awards," Cruse told a Asheville Chronicle reporter after the game. "It's about winning championships. That's what we play for."

Asheville now owns a record of 64-45.
