4-1 Win Sends Asheville to 49-31
The Asheville Highlanders downed the St. Petersburg Thunder, 4-1, at Asheville Park. Stellar pitching by Jesús Varela had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who is rated as the 39th best prospect by BNN, handcuffed his opponent all game. Varela got the win, improving to 2-2. He gave up 7 hits and walked 1 over 6 innings. He allowed 1 run. Jorge Marroquín earned his 5th save in 8 chances.

In the bottom of the fourth inning of a 1-1 tie, Asheville second baseman Manny Feliciano reached on an error by the P, driving in 1 run. It broke the deadlock and put Asheville on top, 2-1.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Feliciano.

After today's action, Asheville sits at 49-31; St. Petersburg slips to 34-46.
