Kingsport Axmen News Release
GREENEVILLE, TN - The Kingsport Axmen fell 1-0 to Greeneville Flyboys in a duel at Pioneer Park on a gorgeous Thursday night.
Both starters spun gems, as Connor Harris for Greeneville (4-3) threw five shutout innings with four strikeouts. Peyton Carson for Kingsport (3-4) halved his ERA on the season with three one-hit innings, striking out three with no walks and no runs allowed.
The offense began for the Flyboys in the 5th, as Chris Williams singled and later scored on a Jake Dacunto single. There wasn't much else, as Kingsport was robbed of a would-be RBI double on a diving catch in center by Homer Bush Jr., turning it into a double play.
Kingsport's arms flourished again, without allowing an earned run and compiling a 1.04 ERA through three games on this road trip.
The Flyboys bullpen had been shaky all season but was locked in against the Axmen hitters. Austin Troesser tossed two hitless frames, followed by Cal Lambert who shut it down for the six-out save.
Kingsport rematches with Greeneville Friday at 7:00 PM ET, before heading to Bristol for a weekend set. Fans can hear all Axmen games by going to https://www.mlb.com/appalachian-league/kingsport/fans/audio-listen-live.
