Sammy Simmons went 2 for 2 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs for Kannapolis. The 22-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jonathan Edwards. It was his 7th RBI of the season.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Simmons.
