WINSTON-SALEM, NC – On a weekday afternoon in North Carolina, the Winston-Salem Dash broke open a tight game with a six run sixth en route to a 14-0 win over the Potomac Nationals. The big hit in the inning was a Grand Slam from Marcus Semien which extended the Dash lead to 8-0.
LHP Matt Grace started strong for Potomac. Through five innings, he had just given up two runs in the first inning with one unearned.
In the sixth with one out, the Dash started a three-inning where they’d score 12 runs. Brady Shoemaker doubled, Mike Blanke walked and Michael Early walked to load the bases. Miguel Gonzalez smacked a single to center that scored Shoemaker and Blanke and the Dash led 2-0 on the hit that chased Grace from the game. Wilson Eusebio walked Kyle Eveland to again load the bases. After getting Daniel Wagner to pop up, Marcus Semien hit a high fly ball that just cleared the left field wall for a Grand Slam. Semien’s first homer of the year gave Winston-Salem a 8-0 lead.
