Road Win Lifts Savannah to 1-0 Lead in RLC
Their bats were silent and Savannah had a rookie on the mound. No problem.

On a day when the Peaches struggled to string together much offense, the club got a big boost from 19-year-old starter Sergio Rivera. The right-hander quieted the Sylva Miners at Pickaxe Field to help Savannah take the 2-1 decision and seize a 1-0 advantage in the best-of-7 Rookie League Championship.

David Kulhanek had a direct impact on the outcome. Kulhanek contributed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put Savannah up, 2-0.

"The old adage is true," said Kulhanek. "Good pitching stops good hitting."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Pickaxe Field in Sylva.
