Black Cats Get Past Athletic Club KC for 2-1 Win
The Gwinnett County Black Cats got a magnificent performance from pitcher Mike Foley, who muffled the Athletic Club KC offense en route to a tight 2-1 Black Cats win at Pipers Ballpark. Foley, now 3-1, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing 1 earned run. Earning his 11th save for Gwinnett County was Jamel Rhoads.

Alfonso Grappasonni provided some late-game heroics for Gwinnett County. In the bottom of the eighth inning, he hit a run-scoring single. It came on a 0-1 fastball from Claudio Valenzuela and propelled Gwinnett County to a 2-1 lead.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Grappasonni told reporters after the game.

With the victory, the Black Cats record now stands at 24-26.
