The Winston-Salem Dash’s week has been a reflection of their season so far and perhaps of baseball as a whole: they looked real good when they won and real bad when they didn’t, with an even split between the two. Offensive honors for the week go to 21-year-old Lenyn Sosa, who went 11-for-24 since last […]

The Winston-Salem Dash had kind of a weird week with mixed results, as the pitching that had been solid in May and the hitting that had been frequently absent seem to have started to switch places, at least to some extent. From June 3 to June 9, the Dash went an even 3-3; one of

The Winston-Salem Dash have gone 4-2 since last Thursday and, as that record indicates, had some solid performances in that span. They improve to 14-12 overall, good enough for third in the division, although the season is young, it’s a tight spread, and also it’s High-A ball and doesn’t really matter.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Taylor Varnell improved on his already impressive Dash debut last time out with six innings of one-run ball, and a four-run Dash fifth led the team to a 4-1 victory over the Potomac Nationals.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Mitch Roman had four hits and big-leaguer Manny Bañuelos struck out seven in less than five innings, but the Dash dropped this one to the Potomac Nationals after some late back-and-forth.

Winston-Salem isn’t currently home to the sheer volume of top prospects as it was last year, when it saw Luis Robert, Nick Madrigal, Luis Basabe, Luis González, Micker Adolfo, Gavin Sheets, and more all play in the same lineup. This year’s roster isn’t quite so prospect-laden, but there are three players currently with the team
