The power bat blasted a home run to straightaway center extending the lead to three, 4-1. Sommer went back to work in the bottom of the fourth getting the Crawdads to go down 1-2-3, and in the fifth, Gladney added insurance. In the top of the fourth, former Wake Forest Demon Deacon Chris Lanzilli propelled the Dash in front with a two-RBI double to left-center, and Taishi Nakawake made it a 3-1 game on an RBI single plating Lanzilli. Hickory jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a pair of throwing errors in the second, but Tommy Sommer was unfazed and got help from his offense. The four spot was all the Dash needed in game one as Hickory only put up a run in the seventh but Everhett Hazelwood shut the door securing the 4-1 win.Ībout 35 minutes later, the two teams went at it again for game two with the Dash playing as the road team.

Next batter Loidel Chapelli laced a double to right center bringing in Gonzalez and Tatum to extend the lead to three. Shawn Goosenberg and Ivan Gonzalez both singled putting two runners on against Rocker, and with two outs, the Dash broke the deadlock thanks to a 106 MPH single off the barrel of Terrell Tatum putting Winston-Salem ahead 1-0. Rocker and Simas continued to trade scoreless innings until the bottom of the fifth when the Dash offense came to life. Both starters made quick work of the first two innings, facing one over the minimum, but Kelley was relieved by Kohl Simas in the third.

The improvement to the ballpark was funded by the city of Winston-Salem. The Dyneema netting is also 15% stronger than steel and 40% stronger than aramid fibers. The same style of netting is used at Yankee Stadium and numerous other Major League ballparks. This material has a special green coating, allowing fans to have 95% see through visibility. Additionally, a 15-foot-high net will protect fans seated on the grass berm on the left field side of the ballpark.Īll of the new netting will be made of a material called Dyneema Ultra Cross Knotless Netting. The new netting installations will extend a 40-foot-high net to cover all fixed seats down the first and third-base lines. Prior to 2020, BB&T Ballpark featured protective netting behind home plate and extending to the end of the dugouts on the first and third-base sides.
