atCaptains at KernelsGarrett Howe ripped a line drive single to right in the top of the 4th, scoring Jose Pirela with the go-ahead run as the Captains held off the Kernels 8-7. Welbyn Francisca powered the Captains' offense with a home run and three RBIs. The Captains improved to 65-53 while the Kernels fell to 45-75, and the teams meet again Thursday.
Howe's hit came on a night when both offenses left runners stranded all over the field—the Captains left 10 on base, the Kernels did the same.
Francisca went 2-for-5 with his home run, providing the backbone of the Captains' attack that proved just enough in a one-run outcome.
The one-run margin reflects how close these teams played despite the missed opportunities at the plate for either side.
The Captains are winners of 2 straight, 7-3 over their last 10. The Kernels are losers of 2 straight, 1-9 over their last 10.
The Captains are up next at Kernels (Aug 27-29). The Kernels are up next home vs Captains (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
