Recapish

The Fireflies dropped their second straight to Asheville 3-2 Friday night despite a strong start from Kevin Canelon. Dash Winningham had a big game, which included his first homerun of the year, but it was not enough for Columbia on this night.

As usual, Canelon’s command was excellent Friday night, and he attacked the bottom of the zone with his mid-80’s heater and mid-70’s slider. He also mixed in his upper-70’s changeup, but the other two pitches were his primary weapons.

The Tourists jumped ahead with a run in each of the first two innings, and they had the same recipe for both runs: leadoff double, runner advanced to 3B, sac fly for the run. After the Fireflies missed a pair of opportunities to chip away at the 2-0 lead, Asheville picked up the biggest run of the game in the 4^th inning. Brian Mundell reached on an infield single to start the frame, stole 2B, and scored on an RBI single off the bat of Yonathan Daza.

The Fireflies had a few opportunities after Dash Winningham put Columbia on the scoreboard with his Moon shot in the 4^th inning, but they just couldn’t come through with the big hit. I break down the offensive details with highlights below, so enjoy! There’s also a Canelon pitch log with GIF’s included at the bottom for your viewing pleasure. This series continues Saturday night at 7:05 PM, with Tyler Badamo (1-2, 4.08 ERA) scheduled to pitch for Columbia.

Scoring Highlights

David Thompson and Dash Winningham picked up consecutive hits in the 2^nd inning, but Thompson was picked off of 1B before Winningham’s double (which came against an 81 MPH Slider), so the Fireflies missed a chance to score.

Kevin Kaczmarski had a pair of singles in this game: one in the 3^rd and another in the 5^th.

Thompson and Dash picked up consecutive hits again in the 4^th inning, except this time Thompson wasn’t picked off, and Dash left the yard for the first time in 2016! His homerun came off an 87 MPH Fastball.

Vinny Siena and J.C. Rodriguez added singles later in the game, but the Fireflies couldn’t get either home.

Defensive Highlights
