River Riders Take Series Finale in Greeneville, 6-1

Elizabethton River Riders News Release


GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - A dominant pitching performance and timely extra-base hits powered the Elizabethton River Riders to a 6-1 win over the Greenville Flyboys on Sunday afternoon at Pioneer Park. The victory closed out the series and lifted the River Riders to 22-24 on the season.

The rundown

Elizabethton broke through in the fourth inning after three scoreless frames. Jack Torbett drew a leadoff walk and came around to score on Ethan Ball's RBI double to left. Ball later crossed home on a groundout from Tu'alau Wolfgramm, and the River Riders led, 2-0.

In the fifth, Elizabethton extended the lead when Terrance Bowen walked, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on an RBI single from Ball, his second RBI of the game. That would be more than enough support for a River Riders pitching staff that allowed just two hits over the first six innings.

The Riders poured it on in the seventh. After a leadoff single by Lenox Lively and another walk from Bowen, Ball came through again, roping a two-run double, his third of the year, to right field. Donte Lewis followed with a single to bring Ball home, giving Elizabethton a commanding 6-0 lead.

Clay Masonis and Jevarra Martin combined for six shutout innings, with Martin striking out the side in the sixth. Greenville scored their lone run in the seventh on a wild pitch, but Cameron Owens closed the door to seal the win.

Notables

Ethan Ball went 3-for-4 with two doubles and four RBIs.

Terrance Bowen scored twice and reached base three times.

Jevarra Martin struck out three batters in a perfect sixth inning.

Elizabethton's pitching staff recorded nine strikeouts and allowed just one run on two hits.
