Tetreault Hurls Suns to 3-1 Victory on Birthday

Kannapolis, NC - Jackson Tetreault held the Kannapolis Intimidators to one run on Sunday evening, his birthday, to help the Hagerstown Suns defeat Kannapolis 3-1 in the series finale at Intimidators Stadium.

Hagerstown took an early lead in the second inning against Kannapolis starter John Parke in his second start of the season against the Suns. With one out, Yasel Antuna tripled to center field and scored when Paul Panaccione singled to center to give the Suns a 1-0 lead. Jeyner Baez reached on an error with Panaccione going to second while both runners scored when Armond Upshaw doubled to right to make it a 3-0 Hagerstown advantage.
Tetreault, Hagerstown's starter, didn't yield a hit to the Intimidators until the fourth inning where Kannapolis drew within two runs. Luis Curbelo led off with a single to right and went to second when Craig Dedelow singled to center. With one out, Anthony Villa grounded into a force out that retired Dedelow at second but put runners at the corners. Justin Yurchak singled on the sixth pitch of his at-bat to plate Curbelo and cut into Hagerstown's lead with the Suns still staked to a 3-1 advantage.
Tetreault (1-6) held Kannapolis to the one run on five hits with one walk and six strikeouts over six innings of work in a quality start.
