Winston-Salem’s 30-40 first half record was the worst of the Dash era, and the club remained in sole possession of last place for the final 50 days of the first half. In the second half, however, the Dash enjoyed at least a share of the top spot in the Southern Division for all but one day (August 19).

In both losses, the Dash had the potential tying run at third base in the ninth inning. The Pelicans went on to sweep Wilmington en route to the Mills Cup title.

Even though Winston-Salem fell short of its first championship since 2003, the club still posted the 19th-best single-half record in league history.

On the rubber, Dash right- hander Jordan Stephens racked up 155 strikeouts, the most by a Winston-Salem hurler in Dash history and the highest by a Carolina Leaguer since 2012.

Stephens was part of a strong starting rotation for Winston-Salem. While the aforementioned right-hander was the only member to remain with the Dash the entire year, the other four starters all reached Double-A Birmingham by the end of the season. Midseason Carolina League All-Star Matt Cooper led the Minor Leagues in strikeouts after his final outing with Winston-Salem (95 through June 13).

Ultimately, the Dash never found their footing. After finishing 28-42 in the first half, the team went just 28- 41 in the second half. At 56-83 overall, it was the worst showing for the Winston-Salem franchise since going 50-90 in 2002.
