The White Sox affiliates put together a strong showing on Friday night, winning four of their five games.
In Charlotte, LaMonte Wade Jr. and Michael Turner hit back-to-back homers while Hagen Smith struck out six despite some command issues. Jacob Burke led Birmingham in their 9-4 victory with three hits, two RBIs, and two steals. In Winston-Salem, the Dash collected 13 hits in a 9-5 win over Wilmington, with George Wolkow, Ely Brown, and Arxy Hernandez all delivering multi-hit performances. Kannapolis leaned on dominant pitching in its 3-1 victory, as Truman Pauley punched out a career-high 10 over 4.2 innings before Jackson Nove added five strikeouts in relief. Last but not least, the ACL White Sox were the only team to lose despite a pair of RBI from Derek Cerda.
