ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - The Elizabethton River Riders defeated the Greeneville Flyboys in six innings on Monday night by a final score of 3-0. Starting pitcher Baker Cox went the distance, as he did not allow a hit or a run and struck out ten.

E-Town struck for two in the first, as a single from Hayden Moore scored Trey Fenderson and a groundout from Austen Jaslove brought home Moore from second, giving the River Riders a 2-0 lead.

Cox allowed his first baserunner in the third, when Tristan Ellis walked with two outs, but the side was quickly erased by a groundout. The other free pass was issued by Cox to start the fourth, when Tyler Cerny got a base-on-balls. However, the side was retired with no issues.

The River Riders tacked on one more in the sixth, a Skylar King sacrifice fly allowed Jaslove to score from third, extending the lead to 3-0.

After the frame, the game went into a lightning delay before the skies opened up and the game was called after six full.

The two teams will meet on Tuesday at Pioneer Park, with first pitch set for 7 p.m.
