Columbus Wins at Home to Take 2-1 Lead in R2
José Vásquez pitched a gem to help the Columbus Red Birds escape with a tight, 2-1 victory over the Asheville Boomsticks in a low-scoring Alexander Hamilton Cup contest. The right-handed Vásquez threw 7.1 innings of shutout ball in the win, just enough for the Red Birds on a day when their offense dried up. Columbus now leads the best-of-7 series 2-1.

Vásquez was in the zone all game. He frustrated Asheville hitters while giving the Red Birds 7.1 innings of quality work. Vásquez threw 105 pitches, allowing 7 hits and getting 8 punchouts.

Vásquez told a Columbus News reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Ricardo Lopez Field in Columbus.
