The Lexington Legends used the hitting of catcher Rob Garrett to subdue the Savannah Sand Gnats, 14-3. For the game, Garrett went 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Lexington is now 49-53, Savannah 53-49.

The Sand Gnats had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Legends going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old catcher Steve Beals came to the plate. Beals hit a 2-run home run on a 0-1 changeup from Savannah hurler Dave Gaines. It was Beals's 1st home run of the year.

"Give them credit," said losing manager Tyler Colvin. "They stayed relentless and kept putting it on us."
