Partons Get Past Lake Elsinore, 2-1
Dolly Parton Ballpark was the site of a tense game between the Lake Elsinore Storm and Dollywood Partons.

Dollywood Partons starter Kevin Menichini hurled his team past the Lake Elsinore Storm, 2-1. Scott Sauer notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. His record now sits at 4-3.

Max Benitez went 1 for 3 for Dollywood. With one out and the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Benitez had a clutch at-bat. Facing Lake Elsinore hurler Jesus Garcia, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Partons a 2-1 lead.

"I went out and just tried to do my job," said Menichini.

The Partons, at 52-14, have a comfortable 18-game lead in their division.
