Charleston, SC (July 11, 2008) – The West Virginia Power scored 12 runs on 14 hits and plated eight of their 12 runs with two outs on Friday night at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Ballpark as they won their seventh game in a row with a 12-2 victory over the Charleston Riverdogs.

Zelous Wheeler ripped a run scoring double with two outs in the first inning to give West Virginia the early lead. The Power scored six runs on five hits and sent ten batters to the plate in the fourth inning. Steffan Wilson began the inning with a triple and scored on Curt Rindal’s infield single. Rindal scored on a base hit from Eric Farris and an errant relay throw on the play brought in Anderson De La Rosa. Caleb Gindl’s groundout allowed Haydel to score the fourth run of the inning and Wheeler singled in the final two runs.

The Power will continue the four game series against the Charleston Riverdogs at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Ballpark in Charleston, South Carolina on Saturday night.
