Greeneville Flyboys News Release
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - The Greeneville Flyboys have played four games against the Tri-State Coal Cats this season, and all have been impacted by inclement weather. Over a month after the Flyboys' June 14 game at Tri-State was suspended, Greeneville won, 15-7, as the game was finished at Pioneer Park on Thursday afternoon.
Greeneville (19-15) led 5-2 when the June 14 game was suspended, and the Flyboys picked up right where they left off against Tri-State (13-21). Greeneville scored ten runs in the final four innings of the game, distancing itself from the Coal Cats. Shortstop Cameron Kim (3-for-6, 2B, 2 RBI), left fielder Ezra McNaughton (1-for-2, RBI, 3 R), first baseman Dylan Jackson (1-1, HR, 3 RBI) and center fielder Reid Haire (2-for-5, 2 RBI) all chipped in.
On the mound, right-hander JD Hay (3 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 4 K) and two-way player AJ Diaz (1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R) kept the Coal Cats from mounting a late comeback as the Flyboys won, 15-7. The second game of the night, which was scheduled for seven innings, was hampered by thunderstorms before it reached half-distance. With one out in the fourth inning and the Flyboys leading, 4-1, storms hit Pioneer Park and the game was canceled. It will not be made up. Greeneville remains in second place in the Appalachian League West, trailing only Kingsport.
