Since Kingsport’s home opener was rained out, their first day of games turned into a doubleheader and unfortunately, they lost both.  In the first game, Elizabethton destroyed Kingsport 15-1.  Elvin Ramirez was shelled for seven runs in three innings and Richard Pena went two for three.

Game two was closer but a loss is a loss.  Angel Calero was hit hard for six runs on nine hits in 3 2/3 innings.  The big story was Marcos Tabata.  He got ten batters out and nine of those were by strikeouts.  He ended up giving up one hit and three walks in 3 1/3 innings.  Daniel Stegall tripled, drew two walks and drove in three in the game.

The Sand Gnats put just two runs on the board in their 4-2 loss to Rome.  Daniel Stegal was the hitting star in the loss and he had three of those hits and he drove in one of the two runs.

In the second game, once again the Sand Gnats did just enough to pick up the win in a 5-4 win.  Julio Polanco gave up one run and he struck out six in four solid innings.  Greg Veloz went two for three with two doubles, two runs and an RBI.

Todd Privett was shelled though, as were the two relievers who followed him. Privett gave up eight runs on eight hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings.
