With center fielder Dave Cheng leading the charge, the Greeneville Astros defeated the Bluefield Blue Jays, 12-11, at Pioneer Park.

In 2.1 innings, the right-hander allowed no runs on no hits. He's now 2-0 on the season. Bluefield, at 4-19, has lost 6 straight.

Cheng had a clutch at-bat in the bottom of the sixth for the Astros. Coming up with the bases loaded and Greeneville trailing 9-8, he hit a 2-run single.

"Ugly win or not, we'll take it," said Cheng.
