Cannon Ballers seek road win at Lynchburg

Kannapolis arrives at City Stadium with a 65-57 record, while Lynchburg sits at 51-70. The gap in wins separates a legitimate contender from a team fighting to stay competitive down the stretch.

Keys to the game

Stiven Flores leads Kannapolis in both batting average (.274) and RBIs (59 RBI), giving the Cannon Ballers their most consistent offensive threat. Dauri Fernandez (.272) is nearly as efficient for Lynchburg, but Jose Pirela's 11 home runs top Flores' production in power.
Blaine Wynk's 6 wins pace the Kannapolis rotation, but Truman Pauley owns the strikeout edge with 109 K against Miguel Flores' 88 K for the Howlers. Flores holds the Lynchburg win advantage at 7 W, signaling stronger run support despite matching Pauley's role in the staff.
