Fireflies Suffer 3-1 Home Loss
Dylan Smith pitched well, but the Columbia Fireflies still lost the game, falling 3-1 to the Asheville Tourists at Spirit Communications Park. Sam Keating was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 38 of 43 save opportunities. The win puts Asheville at 73-63 this season.

Asheville relied on the bat of Jesse Fullerton to get the win. The shortstop ripped a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Tourists ahead, 1-0. For the game, Fullerton had 1 double and 1 home run in 3 at-bats.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Asheville manager Al Richardson. "It's usually not just one thing."
