Kannapolis bounced right back in the 2nd against FredNat starter Andry Lara. After Lara got Ivan Gonzalez to strike out swinging in what should have ended the frame, the ball bounced away and Wilfred Veras came home to score the tying run. Lara did have the rare distinction of recording four strikeouts in one inning on the next batter, but the game was tied at one.
Top White Sox prospect Wes Kath gave the Cannon Ballers the lead for the first time in the 3rd when he poked a two-run homer the opposite way. It was 3-1 Kannapolis at that point.
