Doughboys fall to Flyboys in front of the largest crowd this season, while River Riders slip past Axmen

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn- The fireworks would only come after the game in Johnson City, with the bats going quiet in a 7-2 loss to Greeneville.

Greeneville would start quick for the second night in a row, with a home run for the second hitter of the game, opening up a 2-0 lead immediately.

The Flyboys would continue things in the first, plating two more, taking a 4-0 lead before the Doughboys bats could see the field.

The bats would come early, with Carson Kerce tripling in first, followed by Appalachian League hitter of the month Gunner Boree driving him in on a groundout.

The crowd would be the largest of the season in the Appy League, as 5,169 would be in the ballpark on Wednesday in Johnson City.

The 4-1 score would hold for a bit, as Landon Crumbley would come in the game for Johnson City and shove.

Crumbley would retire the first nine hitters he faced in the game, leading up to the fifth.

The loss takes the Doughboys down to 12-11 on the season, as well as third place in the division.

The Doughboys will look to get back in the win column tomorrow in Greeneville.
