GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - The Greeneville Flyboys took advantage of 17 walks and defeated Johnson City, 12-7, in their final home game of the 2025 season. Greeneville (25-19) was outhit, 11-5, but the Flyboys made their hits count. Trailing 2-0 after the first inning, Greeneville took a 3-2 lead in the second inning without recording a hit - three bases-loaded walks put the Flyboys in front - while a two-run single from right fielder Danny Wallace (2-for-4, 2B, 3 RBI) stretched their lead to 5-2.

The Flyboys scored in every inning between the second and seventh as Johnson City (21-24) pitchers struggled to find the strike zone. Shortstop Tyler Inge (0-for-3, RBI, R) hit a sacrifice fly to give Greeneville a 6-2 lead in the third inning. In the fourth, Ezra McNaughton (1-for-3, HR, 2 RBI, 3 R) hit his 12th home run of the season, tying an Appalachian League single-season record. His solo home run gave the Flyboys a 7-1 lead.

Wallace hit an RBI double in the sixth inning, and the Flyboys scored three more times in the seventh, leading 12-5 entering the eighth inning. Johnson City scored two more runs in the eighth inning, but the Doughboys' struggles on the mound proved insurmountable. After walking three times, driving in a run and stealing two bases, Cameron Kim delivered a scoreless ninth inning to seal the 12-7 Flyboys win.
