7 Straight Wins for Riptides
Alejandro Kirk knocked in 3 runs to help Carolina beat Cincinnati, 8-6, in 21 innings. Kirk produced 3 singles and 1 home run. The win belonged to Kyle Bradish in relief. His record improves to 5-3. Aaron Ashby took the loss for Cincinnati. The winning streak has now reached 7 games for the Riptides.

Carolina got a knockout punch from Matt Shaw. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 21st inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"That game was intense," Shaw said.
