Kevin Burke left his imprint on the 12-2 Savannah win against the Asheville Tourists.

The Tourists fall to 9-15 and continue to sputter in the early going.

With Savannah leading 4-1 in the top of the second, Burke hit a slider from Joe Mitchell for a 2-run triple. It was his 1st triple of the season and put the Sand Gnats ahead, 6-1.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Dave Turgeon.
