ASHEVILLE- Tuesday night at McCormick Field was an absolute offensive explosion for the Asheville Tourists. The home team belted seven Home Runs over two games and hit a pair of Grand Slams in the opener. Asheville beat the Charleston RiverDogs 17-3 in game one and 8-3 in game two.
Not to be outdone, Vavra added a Grand Slam in the fourth inning to match Golsan's six RBI.
Game two was much closer. Asheville trailed most of the way but managed to tie the game 2-2 with a Vavra RBI single in the fifth. Charleston mustered a run in the top of the sixth; however, in the bottom half Asheville's offense was at it again. The first four batters of the inning hit for the cycle; including another MacIver Home Run.
Golsan finished the night with four hits, four runs scored, and six RBIs. Vavra had four hits and seven RBIs. MacIver had three hits over the two games; two homers and a triple.
