Greeneville Flyboys News Release


GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - Despite loading the bases with one out in the top of the ninth, the Kingsport Axmen were unable to score the tying runs as the Greeneville Flyboys held on for the 5-3 win on Saturday, July 16.

For the second straight night, the Axmen (25-12) took the lead, as a bases loaded walk drawn by Henry Hunter (UAB) in the top of the fourth scored Jake Perry (Minnesota) to make it a 1-0 lead for Kingsport.

Maddox Mihalakis (Arizona) took the lead right back from the Axmen in the bottom of the fourth, as his RBI triple scored Dub Gleed (UC Irvine) to tie the game. A Will Brown (Florida A&M) RBI single later in the frame brought home Mihalakis to give Greeneville (18-21) the 2-1 advantage.

The Flyboys extended the lead in the bottom of the fifth, after a David Bishop (TCU) single brought home Brock Daniels (Missouri) to push the lead to 3-1. Mihalakis recorded his second RBI of the night, an RBI single to score Ian Daugherty (Oklahoma State) and make it a 4-1 ballgame. Will Brown recorded another RBI single later in the frame to score Bishop, swelling the Flyboy bulge to 5-1.

The Axmen offense woke up in the top of the eighth after a Sam Petersen (Iowa) double brought home Perry to cut the lead to 5-2. Petersen scored himself later in the inning off an RBI single by Hunter to make it 5-3.

Kingsport opened the top of the ninth inning with back-to-back singles by Gunnar Gouldsmith (Sacramento State) and Ian Riley (Dallas Baptist), but Shane Tucker (LIU) struck out Corbin Shaw (Walters State CC) to get the first out of the inning. After intentionally walking Perry, Tucker struck out Petersen before forcing a flyout by Payton Allen (Kansas) to end the ballgame and give Greeneville their fourth straight win over the Kingsport Axmen.

Mihalakis finished a home run short of the cycle, going 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs and a run scored. Will Brown went 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Jack Liberio Jr. (RCSJ-Cumberlands) (3-0) earned the win, going five innings, allowing one run off six hits, walking two and striking out five. Tucker earns his first save of the season, going 1.2 innings, allowing two hits, walking one batter, and striking out three. Nate Kiser (USC-Salkehatchie) went 2.1 innings in relief, allowing two runs off four hits and striking out two.
