Road Win Lifts Lexington to 2-1 Lead in R1
Lexington Legends manager Rich Freedland knew it was a gamble to give the start to a rookie. It was a good gamble to take.

Pitching in front of a hostile crowd, 24-year-old left-hander Jim McNeil silenced the host Asheville Tourists at McCormick Field. The Legends shut out the Tourists by a final score of 2-0, to give the Legends a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-5 Round 1.

Ronnie Williams had a direct impact on the outcome. Williams contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the second inning to put Lexington up, 1-0.

"We did just enough to win," McNeil said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at McCormick Field in Asheville.
