In Farm Fortnight on Tuesday, I poured a little bit of water on the hot streaks by many Winston-Salem hitters in Asheville by reminding everybody of McCormick Field's dinky dimensions. It wasn't so much that the production wasn't earned, but a return home to Truist Stadium -- and its livestreams, as Asheville doesn't offer them -- would provide a better gauge of its sustainability.
Well, the Dash opened the first of two home series against Bowling Green Tuesday evening, and the four hitters that we follow in the Keys on a daily basis all hit solo shots for all the runs in a 4-2 victory, with Sam Antonacci, Jeral Perez and Braden Montgomery going back-to-back-to-back to start the game:
Samuel Zavala then completed the set in the sixth inning:
