Go Johnny Go - Johnny Drennen hit his first home run of the season yesterday...J.D. had 13 home runs in 2007, spending all year with the K-Tribe.

A Darn Good Run - Potomac notched its 10th victory against the K-Tribe last night, assuring at least a season series tie with Kinston this year.

In 2005, Kinston lost season series to Winston-Salem and Wilmington.
