Intimidators Net 7-2 Win
Kannapolis turned a good performance from starting pitcher Joe Drake into a 7-2 triumph over the Charleston RiverDogs at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. Kannapolis bumps their record to 78-37 with the win.

David Shank had a big 2-run home run for the Intimidators in the top of the first inning. With Kannapolis leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a sinker from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Kirk Wharton and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Intimidators on top, 3-0.

"This was a nice win for us," said Shank. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
