After giving up first inning runs in each of the past three games, Hub City struck first against Drew McDaniel (L, 2-4). Yeison Morrobel doubled to begin the frame, advanced to third on a groundout, then scored on a Hector Osorio sacrifice fly. In the second, Maxton Martin clobbered his second home run of the week, a pull-side bomb to the bullpens beyond right field.

The ‘Burgers’ starting pitching had scuffled throughout the series, but D.J. McCarty was solid through 4 2/3 innings. McCarty struck out seven and didn’t allow a hit until the fourth. The Dash plated one unearned run against the right-hander in the fourth; George Wolkow reached on an error, then later scored on a single from Jeral Perez.
Hub City responded immediately in the next half-inning. Quincy Scott walked, stole second and advanced to third on a groundout. Ben Hartl lifted a sacrifice fly to right to plate Scott.
McCarty struck out a pair in the fifth, then was replaced by Owen Proksch (W, 1-0) on the mound. The southpaw faced the minimum through 1 1/3 innings. J’Briell Easley, a normal starter for the ‘Burgers, kept Winston-Salem off the basepaths in the seventh.
Carter Garate’s leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh turned into the final Spartanburgers run thanks to a stolen base and a pair of errors. Luke Hanson’s sizzling ground ball produced an error and brought in Garate.
