Simpson Hits 2 home runs in Sand Gnats Win
No one was more impactful than Rob Simpson in the 11-4 Savannah win over Asheville. Simpson, who is tied for 6th in the SAL in doubles with 29, belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 6. José Agodo, the winner, improved to 4-4. He held the Tourists to 3 runs on 6 hits over 5 innings, while striking out 6 and walking 1. Jorge Martínez nailed down his 1st save.

The Tourists had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Sand Gnats going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old right fielder Ed Thompson came to the plate. Thompson hit a 2-run double on a 2-1 fastball from Asheville hurler Joe Scott. It was Thompson's 4th double of the year.

"We hit the ball on the barrel," said Savannah manager Tyler Colvin.

The third-place Sand Gnats have won 4 consecutive games.
