The Tourists added another run in the sixth to extend the lead to 4-2.

After several quiet innings, the Dash finally broke through in the seventh and never looked back.

Winston-Salem added an insurance run in the eighth on an RBI single from Shelton, extending the lead to 8-4.

Asheville threatened in the ninth, plating a run and putting traffic on the bases, but the Dash held firm to secure the win.

Jake Curtis (1-1) earned the win out of the bullpen, while Joan Ogando (0-2) took the loss for Asheville.

Winston-Salem will look to carry the momentum into its next series against Hub City after taking the finale and the series at Truist Stadium.
