Intimidators Win, 9-5, Versus Savannah
The Kannapolis Intimidators beat the Savannah Sand Gnats, 9-5, at CMC-NorthEast Stadium. Ben Dotson, in particular, was impressive. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3. The win was credited to 22-year old left-handed pitcher Orlando Martínez in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Chris Pope took the loss. The third-place Intimidators now have a win-loss record of 64-57.

Kannapolis went up, 5-4, on Jeff Picot's 3rd triple of the season. The run-scoring triple, which Picot hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Savannah pitcher Chris Pope muttering to himself.

"It's nice to see a lot of guys make contributions," said Intimidators manager Osamu Hamanaka.
