The Savannah Sand Gnats (3-5/45-33) stepped on the pedal late to pull away from the Greenville Drive with a 7-3 win Thursday night at Fluor Field.
The Gnats broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the fifth when SS Wilfredo Tovar singled home 1B Travis Ozga who had begun the inning with a single of his own. Ozga was 4-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Ozga is now hitting .471 (8 H/17 AB) in his first six games as a Gnat.
Savannah added two in the top of the sixth inning on a 3B Jefry Marte two-run home run to push their lead to 4-1. It was Marte's fourth home run of the year.
The Drive (6-2/42-36) picked up a run back in the bottom of the sixth against Gnats' starter Collin McHugh. McHugh held the Drive to two runs on seven hits in 6.2 innings to pick up his first win since April 21. He walked two and struck out seven, tying a personal season-best.
The Gnats kept adding runs late. In the eighth, CF RJ Harris led off with a solo home run, his first as a Gnat. With two outs in the inning, doubles from RF Cesar Puello and 1B Travis Ozga added another run to make it 6-2 Savannah.
