Alec Gingell led Columbia to a win over Asheville. The final score was 5-2. The left fielder had a huge performance. He whacked 3 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 2 doubles. Columbia pitcher Mike Torres got the win, upping his record to 2-3. Matt Alvarado got the loss. Jesus Alvarado was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 10 of 11 save opportunities.

Gingell had a big at-bat with runners on 1st and 2nd in the bottom of the third inning, when he hit a run-scoring double. The Fireflies went on to win.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Gingell. "It sure beats the alternative."

Columbia, at 75-59, sits in second place in the Southern Division.
