JOHNSON CITY - A two-out two-run home run in the top of the eighth inning from Derek Tenney added an exclamation point to a 7-2 victory for the Greeneville Flyboys on Saturday night against the Johnson City Doughboys at TVA Credit Union Ballpark.

Greeneville (16-10) tallied 10 hits as a team in the contest and was paced by two-hit efforts from Jonathan Hogart and Emanuel Dean. Flyboy's starter Will Saxton worked into the fifth inning before exiting the contest with two outs in the frame.

The Flyboys opened the scoring in the top of the second inning as Daylen Reyes plated Dean with a run-scoring single to make it 1-0. Trevor Austin added to the lead as he scored from third on a failed pickoff attempt by Johnson City to make it 2-0.

Eddie Micheletti and Austin both reached base to open the fourth inning as Micheletti would score to make it 3-0 with Johnson City turning a double play to trade the run for a pair of outs. The offense continued for Greeneville in the fifth inning as Hogart notched a two-out single to keep the inning alive.
