Carolina Stopped, 3-2, by Washington
The Washington Hitmen earned a close win over the Carolina Riptides, thanks in part to Paul Skenes. The Washington right-hander, who is the top prospect in the Hitmen organization, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Washington is now 61-71. Carolina is 69-63.

Washington used a timely hit from Juan Yepez to get the win. The first baseman delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the seventh inning to put the Hitmen on top, 3-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Carolina manager Rob Hansen said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.
