Jones Stars for Mudcats in 7-6 Win
Carolina first baseman Chris Jones played a vital role in his team's 7-6 conquest of Lynchburg. He went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for Carolina. The winning pitcher was 27-year old right-handed pitcher Sergio Martínez. He tossed 117 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 5 runs on 7 hits. The Mudcats now have a record of 32-33.

With Carolina leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Jones hit a fastball from Doug Bratcher for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Mudcats ahead, 4-0.

"We ground out the win," said Jones. "That's all that matters."
