The lone run on Friday came on a solo Home Run from Quincy Hamilton. Asheville continued to play long ball early into Saturday’s action. Luis Guerrero blasted a two-run Home Run in the bottom of the second. Cristian Gonzalez then clubbed a two-run Homer in the third.

C.J. Stubbs followed with a solo shot to give the Tourists a 6-0 advantage. Stubbs has gone deep in three consecutive games.

Spencer Arrighetti held the Hot Rods in check until Bowling Green rallied for two runs in the sixth.
