Tourists Get Clutch Win Versus Rome
Asheville left fielder Bobby Grier was a significant contributor in his team's 7-6 triumph over the Rome Firebirds. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Tourists. Alan Parker claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 2-1. Joe Mitchell picked up his 3rd save of the season.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Jim MacKinney came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Rome pitcher Greg Warner, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Asheville on top, 7-6.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Asheville skipper Dave Turgeon.

The loss drops Rome to 3-5.
