On Reynolds' side, Tanner Irvine made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. Chase Bell was another key contributor, going 2-for-3 with a stolen base and an RBI.
Wilmington now has a winning record of 4-3. As for Reynolds, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Wilmington is on the road again on Wednesday to play Lakeview at 4:15 p.m. Lakeview's pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so Wilmington's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Reynolds, they will head out on the road to take on Greenville at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Greenville is coming into the contest with three straight wins at home, so Reynolds will have to stop a team with plenty of momentum.
