Tourists Drop Legends, 4-0
Asheville Tourists starter Matt Flowers pitched his team past the Lexington Legends, 4-0. In 5.1 innings, Flowers surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. Matt Alvarado earned his 1st save, after closing out the game.

Aaron Cruse dealt the Legends a blow in the bottom of the fifth. Batting with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Asheville leading 2-0, Cruse, who is tied for 9th in the SAL in doubles with 26, hit a 1-1 changeup for a 2-run single.

"You want to go out there and put up zeroes, that's the main thing," said Flowers. "You don't want to get caught in one of those back-and-forth, run-for-run games."

The 6th-place Tourists have a record of 43-75.
