KINSTON, NC - The Wood Ducks wrapped up their season in a 5-3 defeat to the Winston-Salem Dash on Friday. The Woodies finish the season with a 59-81 overall record and 24-46 in the second half. Winston-Salem claims both halves of the Carolina League for the first time in the Dash era and earned the best record in the league at 84-54.

Yanio Perez's three-run homer was the highlight of the afternoon for the DEWDs as it briefly gave the Woodies a 3-2 lead in the fifth. The Dash would come-from-behind to tie things in the seventh, and take the lead for good in the eighth to win the series.
Josh Altmann reached base four times with a two-for-two day at the plate while Chuck Leblanc and Leody Taveras each reached three times. Taveras finished the season on a 21-game on-base streak which is currently the second-longest streak in DE history.
Leblanc finishes the season as the team's batting champion with a .274 average. Altmann led the way with 20 home runs, while Anderson Tejeda finished 74 RBIs. The HRs and RBI marks set new highs in two seasons of DEWD baseball.
