Corcino and Wilson jacks spoil Mudcats

ZEBULON, North Carolina (June 7, 2019) - Edgar Corcino and Marcus Wilson each blasted a home run to power Salem to a rain-shortened 2-1 win over the Carolina Mudcats Sunday afternoon at Five Counties Stadium.

* Rain began to fall in the bottom of the frame when Mario Feliciano cut Salem's lead 2-1 on an RBI double. Payton Henry drew a full count against Kutter Crawford when time was called by home plate umpire Raul Moreno due to a blinding sheet of rain across the field.
