KINGSPORT, Tenn. - This one was all River Turtles. No, literally. Pulaski took out weeks of pent-up frustration on the Kingsport Axmen, defeating Kingsport by a score of 10-0 on Friday in Kingsport, picking up their tenth win of the season.

It didn't take long for 2023 Appalachian League All-Star Sam White to make an impact, as, after a first inning single, White came back for a bases-clearing double in the second to put Pulaski (10-25) up 3-0. Recent addition Tyler Dunn added on another run for the River Turtles with an RBI single to make it 4-0 over Kingsport (18-21)

Dunn picked up a second RBI single in the third scoring Carter Owens, making it 5-0 River Turtles.

Pulaski put the game away in the sixth as they tagged Kingsport reliever Jeremiah Newman for five runs off exactly zero hits, scoring three runs on three wild pitches and two Kingsport fielding errors, making it 10-0, where the game would stay.

It was a nice day at the plate for 2023 All-Star Mike Mancini as he had a two for three day and reached three times.

Kingsport starter Eli Edds picks up his second loss of the season, while Pulaski starter Andrew Steinhaus threw a gem going seven innings striking out seven, picking up the win.

Kingsport heads north to take on the Princeton WhistlePigs for a weekend series with first pitch for both games set for 6:00 p.m.
