HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Hagerstown pitcher, Connor Curlis, turned in his best performance of the season, securing Hagerstown’s third win of the series vs. Lexington.

In the second inning, Cristhian Rodriguez reached on a single and Andy Martin worked a walk before Noah Smith delivered a two-out, two-run double down the line to give the Flying Boxcars a 2-0 advantage.

The Legends cut the deficit in half in the fifth inning when Dylan Rock launched a solo home run to right field.

Cam Pferrer entered in the ninth and worked a scoreless ninth inning to earn his second save of the season.

The Legends struck out 11 times and did not advance a runner beyond first base after Rock’s fifth-inning homer.

With the win, Hagerstown advances to 24-15 on the season. Hagerstown will look to clinch the series win on Saturday (6/6).
