Flyboys Drop Series Finale Versus Elizabethton

Greeneville Flyboys News Release


GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - Playing for the third time in 24 hours, the Greeneville Flyboys lost to the Elizabethton River Riders, 6-1, on Sunday. Elizabethton starter Clay Masonis (5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K) and reliever Jevarra Martin (1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 K) shut out the Flyboys for six innings. After wrapping up a playoff berth in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, Greeneville (24-19) rested most of its everyday players.

The River Riders (22-24) leaned on cleanup man Ethan Ball (3-for-4, 2 2B, 4 RBI) for nearly all of their offensive output. Ball entered the game batting .163 with five RBIs, but he made the most of his stint in the middle of the lineup for Elizabethton. He gave the River Riders a 1-0 lead with an RBI double in the fourth inning, added an RBI single in the fifth and tacked on a two-run double in the seventh to put the game out of reach. Greeneville scored its lone run on a wild pitch with two outs in the seventh inning.

Right-hander Cristian Bonilla (4 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K) got the loss in his first start of the season for the Flyboys. His first 10 outings were all in relief. Greeneville and Elizabethton split the eight-game series at four games apiece, and the Flyboys are now 10-11 at home after Sunday's 6-1 loss.
