Kingsport rolled all over Bluefield 18-6 and it’s hard to believe that a guy who belted two homeruns wasn’t even the hitting star.  Greg Veloz played a part in eight of Kingsport’s 18 runs and he went three for five with two doubles, one walk, four RBIs and four runs.  Jeremy Hambrice went two for five with two homeruns and four RBIs.

All three Kingsport pitchers gave up runs but Jorge Rodriguez picked up the win.  He gave up two runs on three hits and four walks with one strikeout in four innings.

The Sand Gnats won two one run game in their doubleheader over Rome.  In the first game, Tobi Stoner is finally getting some run support and he improved to 3-5 on the season.  He gave up three runs on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts.  Daniel Stegal went two for three with two RBIs and a run.

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.

Greg Mullens took it on the chin in the Sand Gnats 10-8 loss to Rome.  He gave up six runs on eleven hits and two walks with two strikeouts in five innings.

Greg Veloz went three for six with two RBIs and a run.  Joe Holden went three for five with an RBI and two runs.

The Sand Gnats lost 5-2 in a game where their offense never got going.  The only reason they scored was because one of the five hits they picked up was a two run shot by Greg Veloz.

Tim Stronach had a mixed start.  While he gave up four runs on seven hits and a walk, he did strike out seven so there’s something to build on there.  The loss drops him to 2-4 on the season.

The Sand Gnats couldn’t push a single runner across the plate as they lost to Augusta 6-0.  Greg Veloz and David Wabick each had two singles in the loss.

Timothy Stronach dropped to 0-2 on the season.  He gave up five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk in 3 2/3 innings.
