Stynes Hits 2 home runs in Moonshiners Win
The Asheville Moonshiners stopped the Columbus Clippers, 8-4, at Mules Ballpark. The Moonshiners got a big game from Chris Stynes, who went 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. The loss drops Columbus to 3-4.

Asheville took a 5-4 lead on Yamil Benitez's 3rd hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Benitez hit in the top of the seventh, left Columbus pitcher Glendon Rusch shaking his head.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Stynes told the Asheville Daily News.
