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.
