Fireflies Clip Cannon Ballers, 4-3
Despite a fine performance by catcher Ricardo Perez, the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers lost to the Columbia Fireflies, 4-3. Perez went 3-3 with 3 singles and a walk. Adam Smith, credited with the save, is now 2 for 2 in save opportunities. Columbia is now riding a 5-game win streak.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the sixth, with the game tied, Elijah Brooks was at the plate when Columbia scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Fireflies to go in front, 2-1.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Brooks told the Columbia Daily.
