FREDERICK, Md.
Four Winston-Salem pitchers combined to blank Frederick as the Dash claimed a 1-0 win against the Keys last night.
It was the first 1-0 victory of the season for Winston-Salem, which extended its winning streak to three games.
Dash hurler Miguel Socolovich, who was making his first start of the season after 24 relief appearances, pitched four shutout innings and limited the Keys to three hits. He did not walk a batter or record a strikeout and did not figure in the decision.
The bullpen was equally impressive as Wander Perez (2-1) took over and worked two perfect innings. Nate Jones followed with two hitless innings before Tyson Corley recorded the final three outs to pick up his third save of the season. At one point, Dash pitchers retired 16 consecutive batters as Winston-Salem improved to a league-best 27-13 in games decided by a run.
The game remained scoreless until the top of the sixth inning, when Winston-Salem scored the lone run.
Tyler Kuhn reached on a four-pitch walk and stole second base. After a ground out moved Kuhn to third, Seth Loman drilled an RBI double down the right-field line to give Winston-Salem a 1-0 lead. It was be all the offense that the Dash would need.
Keys starting pitcher Zach Britton (8-6), who is second in the league in ERA and strikeouts, was stellar on the mound, but suffered the tough-luck loss. He went seven innings and held Winston-Salem to a one run on four hits with seven strikeouts.
The Dash and Keys will end their three-game series today at 2 p.m. Winston-Salem will start Jacob Rasner (3-4, 4.26 ERA) while Frederick will start Sean Gleason (3-6, 4.96).
