Tourists Lose By a Run at Columbia, 4-3
The Columbia Fireflies scored a tight 4-3 win versus the Asheville Tourists at Spirit Communications Park. Columbia pitcher Jonah Harris held his own in the contest. Harris, now 13-8, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 5, walking 3, and allowing 3 runs. The second-place Fireflies improved to 84-54.

The Fireflies got an important contribution from right fielder Kelly Bryant, who in the bottom of the third hit a fastball into center for a run-scoring double. It was his 17th double of the season and put the Fireflies ahead, 4-0.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Harris said after the game.
