Columbus,
GA – The Columbus Catfish (18-13) dropped their series opener
to the Greenville Drive (15-18) by a final score of 4-1.
The Drive scored early, as they put up
3 runs in the 2nd inning. David Marks hit a ground-rule
double to left-center that drove in Oscar Tejeda, who had singled.
Che-Hsuan Lin then reached on an error by Chase Fontaine to drive in
Juan Apodaca. Greenville would score their final run of the inning
when Jason Ragan uncorked a wild pitch to score Marks. Greenville
added one more in the top of the 4th when Manny Arambarris
homered to left field. The Catfish scored their only run in the
4th when Stephen Vogt singled to left field to score Greg
Sexton, who had doubled.
Che-Hsuan Lin led the offensive attack
for the Drive, as he went 3-5 with a stolen base. He was the only
Greenville played to have more then 2 hits, as they received a fine
outing from South Atlantic League All-Star Felix Doubront. Doubront
fired 5 innings, allowing only 3 hits and 1 earned run while walking
2 and striking out 7 to pick up his South-Atlantic League best 11th
win. Kyle Fernandes fired 3 shutout innings of relief and Felix
Ventura recorded his 14th save of the season.
