Tourists Need Extra Innings to Top Legends, 6-4
The Asheville Tourists faced a tenacious opponent in Lexington pitcher Chris Tyler, but still scratched out a win at Whitaker Bank Ballpark by a final score of 6-4 in 11 innings. Tyler went 7 innings and allowed no runs. Picking up the save was Pete Joseph, his 1st. Asheville is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 5th in 15 games.

Timely hitting helped the Tourists beat the Legends. Prime example: the two-out single Butch Fowler registered in the top of the 11th. Facing Ed Lynn, Fowler gave his team the lead, 4-3, when he hit a run-scoring single.

"It was terrific getting this win," Fowler said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
