Dawson Helps Red Sox Run Win Streak to 5
Riding the 3-hit performance of the 24-year old second baseman Bo Dawson, the Salem Red Sox stopped the Lynchburg Hillcats, 9-0. Dusty Johnston was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed no runs on 1 hit, with 2 walks and 9 strikeouts. This loss makes it 14 in a row for Lynchburg.

Salem relied on the bat of Pat Yates to get the win. The right fielder ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 3-0. For the game, Yates had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"Win or lose, we always try to grind it out and stay even-keeled," Dawson said in reaction to the win.
