Mudcats Send Wilmington Home with 4-2 Loss
Carolina parlayed a decent outing from starter Kevin Kirby into a solid win over the Wilmington Blue Rocks. The final score was 4-2. Rudy Thomas got credit for the save for Carolina. It was his 23rd of the year. Wilmington now owns a losing streak of 5 games.

The Mudcats got a big at-bat from second baseman Jesús Batista. For the game, Batista went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the second, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 5th home run of the season gave Carolina a 2-0 lead.

Said Carolina manager John Cornely: "Kevin came into the game mentally strong. He dominated."
