Fans who came to Rails Ballpark watched the Asheville Highlanders and the Richland Rails fight to the finish.

Asheville beat Richland at Rails Ballpark, eking out a 5-4 win. The win was due in large part to right fielder Frank Morris, who earned player of the game honors. Reliever Michael White picked up the win. His record improves to 2-0. Ken Grant took the loss.

Asheville used the timely hitting of Francis Raffone to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Highlanders on top, 5-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I like our moxie," said Highlanders manager William Franklin.

Asheville is second in the Menard's AA with a record of 24-16.
