Asheville Tourists starter Mike Piper turned in a top-notch performance against the Rome Firebirds at McCormick Field. The result was a win for the Tourists, 3-2. The triumph puts Asheville at 60-51 for the season.

Asheville got a knockout punch from Mike Taylor. The second baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Good pitching, clutch hitting," said Asheville skipper Dave Turgeon. "I can't complain."
