Carolina Mudcats 8 - Salem Red Sox 7

Box Score

ZEBULON, N.C. - Eric Bitonti hit a pair of home runs, including the go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning to power the Carolina Mudcats past the Salem Red Sox 8-7 on Friday night at Five County Stadium.

Carolina (32-16) trailed 5-3 entering the bottom of the seventh but that is when the offense came to life against Jay Allmer (L, 2-1). The first five batters of the inning reached safely ahead of Bitonti who came to the plate and turned around an 0-2 pitch and crushed it over the right field wall for a grand slam and an 8-5 Mudcats advantage.

Salem (20-28) tried to claw back scoring a pair of runs against Bryan Rivera (W, 4-1) in the eighth on a two-run home run from Freili Encarnacion to cut the deficit to 8-7.

That would be as close as the Red Sox would get as Miles Langhorne (S, 3) worked a scoreless ninth to preserve the one-run victory.

The clubs return to Five County Stadium on Saturday afternoon with first pitch slated for 5:00 P.M. Carolina sends RHP Chandler Welch (0-0, 5.00) to the mound while Salem will give the ball to RHP Blake Aita (2-2, 3.70).
