Instead Wilmington goes yard in the top of the first inning as Eric Nelson takes 1-1 Cory Vance offering and curves it around the pole in left field. 1-to-nothing Wilmington.
But in the next frame, Salem's Greg Catalanotte would even things up with a drive to the wall in the left center field. Scott Seal wasn't running on the pitch, but he was scooting after the hit. Watch him beat the throw to the plate. It's 1-all after 2 innings.
The Blue Rocks got what turned out to be the eventual game winning run in the top of the 3rd as Norris Hopper, who went three for four on the night drive in Corey Hart to with outs in the innings to make it 2-to-1.
Defense would then take over for both teams. First watch Marco Cunningham in right field rob Javier Colina with the diving catch in the gap.
But that was nothing compared to the four defensive gems turned in at third base by Salem's Seth Taylor. The Florida native did his best to keep it a one run game.
((SETH TAYLOR/AVALANCHE THIRD BASEMAN:))
But Hart would break the hearts of the Avalanche faithful again in the 7th with a solo homer to right to make it a 3-to-1 game.
