Wilmington on Monday squeaked out with the win, as Jose Duarte scored the winning run in the top of the ninth to edge Kinston. Dan Cortes got the start and was effective for the most part, but wasn't economic with his pitches and only lasted 3.2 innings. On the season, Cortes now owns a 10.16 K/9 IP ratio. On the offensive side, Mario Lisson is pounding the ball in the month of May, owning a .892 OPS since May 1.

Led by spectacular pitching performances by Mario Santiago and Matt Campbell, the Bees shut out Clinton to avoid the sweep. Kurt Mertins led the Bees’ offensive attack with three hits, and Derrick Robinson chimed in with an infield single and a steal. But the story here was the pitching -- Santiago and Campbell combined for six strikeouts, and 16 of the other outs came on ground balls. Burlington will send Harold Mozingo (3-5, 4.18) to the mound to kick off a homestand on Tuesday.
