Blanco Hits 2 home runs in Riptides Win
The Carolina Riptides grabbed a win, 8-1, over the Tampa Bay Bandits at Tony Gwynn Memorial Field. Carolina left fielder Dairon Blanco belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Clayton Kershaw, the winning pitcher, improved to 6-5. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 4 hits and no runs, while striking out 7 and walking 0. The Riptides, now 76-64, have won 4 in a row.

Brenton Doyle had a big 2-run home run for the Riptides in the top of the fourth inning. With Carolina leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a changeup from Shane McClanahan, who is tied for 8th in the FL in wins with 11, and punished it. The result was his 10th home run of the season, which put the Riptides on top, 3-0.

Blanco called the win "a collective effort."
