Last night on the farm, Samuel Zavala and Wes Kath hit home runs to help the Dash get the 6-2 win, and Kannapolis was able to secure their seventh victory in a row as Jake Peppers pitched six innings, allowing only one run. And of course, Drew Thorpe had yet another dominant start, striking out seven and giving up just one run in six innings, but it was not enough as the Barons lost a close game 3-1.
