He ain't just whistling Dixie. Tuesday night's 3-2 victory over Charleston, S.C., was a perfect example. For eight innings, manager Ken Oberkfell pulled his hair out, watching the Weevils' lethargic hitting once again frustrate him, his starting pitcher and his fans. It was the same ol' story. Brad Baisley gives up just two runs in seven innings but leaves with slumping shoulders and a 2-1 deficit.
Some fans begin to leave in the bottom of the ninth.
Their team has just five hits. They've seen this before. And then, Piedmont erupts. Pow, pow, pow. Three straight hits.
