Kannapolis Sent Home with 1-0 Loss
The Rome Firebirds, behind a great outing from Kevin Key, who is rated as the 52nd best prospect by BNN, defeated the Kannapolis Intimidators, 1-0, at State Mutual Stadium. Key got the win, improving to 2-0. He gave up 5 hits and walked 1 over 6 innings. He allowed no runs. Lou Riley notched his 1st save of the season.

António Silva drove in one run for Rome. The 22-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With no one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Raúl Hernández. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"Kevin set the tone with his ability to attack the hitters," said Rome manager Aaron Holbert.

Kannapolis drops to 2-4.
