Kusick Leads Eagles to Win
Kinston and Auburn got after it at Falcon Park.

The Kinston Eagles topped the Auburn Falcons by the score of 9-4, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Craig Kusick. Kusick belted 2 home runs. He drove in 6 runs and scored twice for the Eagles. Wayne Miller, the winner, goes to 11-5. He allowed 4 runs on 10 hits, with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts over 7.1 innings. Bill Landis was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 12 of 15 save opportunities.

The Eagles got a big boost from right fielder Bill Voss who had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth inning off Falcons hurler John Henry Johnson. It was his 52nd RBI of the season and put Kinston on top, 4-3.

"We'll put that win in the can," said Kusick, "and go after the next one."

The win makes Kinston 54-65.
