Tourists Snatch Late Win
Good production from designated hitter José Cruz helped the Asheville Tourists topple the Lexington Legends, 9-7. Cruz was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Tourists. Pat Conway, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities. The first-place Tourists have won 4 consecutive games.

Charlie Huffman, the 22-year old catcher , had a direct impact on the outcome. Huffman contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning to put Asheville up, 2-1.

"I like the roll we're on," said Asheville manager Al Richardson.
