Columbia Fireflies (29-25) 5, Hagerstown Suns (33-23) 3  Box Score

• Michael Paez 3B: 4 for 5, R, HR, 2 RBI, .306/.401/.543
• Desmond Lindsay CF: 0 for 3, 2 R, 2 BB, 2 K, .171/.322/.321
• Dash Winningham 1B: 2 for 4, R, BB, K, .251/.302/.417

Szapucki made his first start of the season after being sidelined with a shoulder impingement since Spring Training.
