Flyboys Drop Series Opener to Kingsport
June 11, 2025 - Appalachian League (ApL)
Greeneville Flyboys News Release
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - The Greeneville Flyboys' rough week continued Wednesday night at Pioneer Park as they fell, 11-5, to the Kingsport Axmen. The visitors' potent offense was firing on all cylinders for the second straight night, collecting 14 hits and leaning on the top of their lineup for the bulk of the damage.
Kingsport left fielder Alex Kelsey, center fielder Derrick Pitts and catcher Jace Roossien combined to go 9-for-16 with seven runs scored. First baseman Ben Tryon (1-for-4, 3 RBI), right fielder Landis Davila (1-for-5, 3 RBI) and designated hitter Tyler Myatt (2-for-5, HR, 2 R) took advantage of the plethora of scoring opportunities afforded to them by the top of the lineup. After two great nights at Bluefield, Flyboys pitchers struggled. They walked just three hitters in two games at Bluefield but walked 12 Axmen hitters Wednesday.
Greeneville (3-3) left two runners on base in three separate innings and left the bases loaded in the eighth inning, watching its best chance at a comeback fall by the wayside. It had the tying run on deck, trailing, 10-5, but Axmen (3-3) reliever Cris Cespedes (2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 K) retired the middle third of the Flyboys lineup in order to limit them to just one run.
