Offensively, 1B Jacob Reimer and 2B Marco Vargas finished with multi-hit days, while SS Boston Baro drove in a pair.

The ‘Clones the scoreboard after the two squads traded zeroes though the first two frames. After RHP Jean Pinto allowed a couple of walks to start the frame, Baro plated both DH Jefrey De Los Santos and LF Troy Schreffler with a two-run single.

Asheville responded with two more in the fifth off of RHP Noah Hall. 2B Drew Vogel led off the frame with a solo home run. After a couple of walks, C Garret Guillemette laced an RBI double to tie the game. Those would be the only runs surrendered by Hall, who took a no-decision over 4.1 innings of two-run ball on seven hits. He was replaced by Metoyer, who proceeded to get out of the jam with two in scoring position and only one out.

From there, it took until the home half of the eighth for anyone to score. After RF A.J. Ewing drew a one-out walk, Reimer launched an RBI triple to the gap in right center to give Brooklyn the lead, plating the speedy Ewing.
