JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — The Greeneville Flyboys fell victim to two big innings in Thursday’s series finale at Johnson City, surrendering a five-run fourth inning and four runs in the seventh inning as the Doughboys took a 12-5 win. Johnson City (12-12) was once again prolific in high-leverage at-bats, recording nine hits with runners in scoring position while holding Greeneville (14-9) to a 1-for-10 mark.
The Doughboys took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning and, after Greeneville tied the game at two runs apiece in the third, outscored the Flyboys 10-3 in the final six innings to take their third commanding win in as many days.
All nine Johnson City batters reached base safely, led by shortstop Dane Morrow (2-for-5, 2 RBI), designated hitter Jose Fernandez (2-for-3, 2B, 2 RBI), third baseman Camden Kaufman (1-for-5, 2 RBI) and second baseman Logan Fyffe (2-for-5, 2B, 3 RBI), all of whom drove in multiple runs.
