LEXINGTON, KY (WSAZ)-- The Lexington Legends scored four times with two outs in the fourth inning and came away with a 6-4 victory over the West Virginia Power.

The Power's Eric Farris began a string of three consecutive two-out singles in the top of the third. Farris stole second and scored on Logan Schafer’s RBI single. Schafer scored later in the inning on Eric Fryer’s base hit.

West Virginia struck with two outs in the fourth inning. Caleb Gindl scored on Lee Haydel’s double, giving the Power a 3-0 lead.

Russell Dixon drove in Lexington’s first run on a two-out base hit in the bottom of the fourth inning. Dixon scored on Brandon Barnes’s double and Steve Brown gave the Legends the lead on a two-run inside the park home run.

The Power tied the game at 4-4 a half inning later. With runners on first and second, Zelous Wheeler hit a ground ball back to the mound which Leandro Cespedes fielded cleanly. When he threw the ball to second base, there was nobody there to cover the bag and the ball went into center field, allowing Fryer to score.

The Legends stole the lead again in the fifth inning when Dixon hit the game winning two-run homer.

Cespedes (3-6) did enough to get the victory, allowing four runs on ten hits with five strikeouts over five and two-thirds. Tony Duran (1) picked up the save after tossing three and a third scoreless innings. Reed Dickert (2-4) was tagged with the loss after surrendering three runs on four hits over two innings of work. Roque Mercedes tossed two and a third scoreless innings of relief.

The Power fell to 73-59 on the year and 41-22 in the second half with the loss. The Legends improved to 43-88 on the year and 22-40 in the second half with the win.

Caleb Gindl and Lee Haydel both extended their hitting streaks to ten games. Eric Fryer reached twice to bring his on base streak to 33 games.

The Power will continue the four game series against the Lexington Legends at Applebee’s Park on Monday night.
