"Scoreless through the first three frames, McCabe turned on a 3-1 fastball and crushed a 426-foot homer - his second since joining the Stripers to give Gwinnett the 1-0 lead. Meanwhile on the mound, Jose Suarez got the start for Gwinnett and put together an excellent outing. Across six innings of work, Suarez scattered just three hits while holding Norfolk scoreless as well. On top of that, Suarez managed to strike out six batters and didn't walk anyone in the process."
"The bats showed up and showed out for Columbus on Friday, as the Clingstones routed Rocket City 7-1 while scattering 12 hits in the process. While multiple Clingstones hitters had significant performances, E.J. Exposito led the charge by going 3-5 with a pair of RBI and three runs scored on the night as well. Exposito's biggest hit came in the top of the fourth, as his solo homer tied the game at 1-1 and paved the way for the rest of the offense to come through. David Fletcher also performed very well, going 3-4 with a double and two RBI himself,"
