Tourists Topple Fireflies, 3-2
The Asheville Tourists picked up a win at McCormick Field, topping the Columbia Fireflies, 3-2. On the mound for Asheville was right-hander Eric Fox. He played a principal role in the triumph. The setback makes Columbia 64-73.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Tourists had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the third, when third baseman Dave Kirschner hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Mike Horn and made the score 3-0, Tourists. Kirschner was 2 for 4 with a double, while adding 2 RBI.

"I made good pitches, kept the ball out of the middle of the plate for the most part," said Fox.
