Tourists Lose as Legends Stage Late Rally
The Lexington Legends had to overcome a fine effort from Asheville pitcher Billy Demeter to win, 3-1, at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. Demeter went 7.1 innings and allowed 1 run. Kyle McDonald was the winner in relief. His record is now 5-2. The losing pitcher was Jason McCaleb. Nate Mendoza earned the save for Lexington, his 12th.

Had Will Gilmore not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Gilmore hit a 2-run single. That made the score 3-1, in favor of the Legends.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Lexington skipper Danny Ortiz.

With the win, the Legends improved to 60-53.
