Sand Gnats Win at Home, 5-2
The Savannah Sand Gnats got a marvelous performance from pitcher Ron Moloney. The left-hander kept the Kannapolis offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 5-2 Savannah victory at Grayson Stadium. Savannah is now 70-58, while Kannapolis is 66-62.

Luis Carmona had a big 2-run triple for the Sand Gnats in the bottom of the second inning. With Savannah leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a sinker from 21-year old right-handed pitcher Mel Walter and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 5th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Sand Gnats ahead, 4-0.

Said losing manager Osamu Hamanaka: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
