Lots of fans in the stands for this one at Lake Olmstead Stadium... 93 degrees at gametime... for this pitchers duel. With the 'Jackets up 2-0 the Tourists answer back with a home run to tie things at 2 all in the 4th.

Sheng An Kuo went in search of his 9th victory for the Tourists... striking out 7 through 6 innings... including the 5th when he struck out the entire side.

But Oliver Odle matched him pitch for pitch... going 7 and 2/3 innings with 10 strikeouts. The GreenJackets scored 3 in the 7th to win it 5-2...to take a leg up in the 2nd half dance party agaisnt Asheville before nearly 5,000 fans.
