Pirates Score Late, Clip Mets, 10-9
Jim Sutton was a major contributor to the 10-9 Bristol win over Kingsport. The Pirates left fielder was 3-4 with 2 home runs, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 6. The winner was Bristol reliever Joe Raymond, now 1-4. The loser was Joe Johns. Yes, it was a win for Bristol; but their 10-21 mark is nothing to crow about.

The clutch at-bat in the bottom of the ninth belonged to Sutton. Facing Mike Rutherford with the bases loaded, the Bristol left fielder had a run-scoring walk. Game over, walk-off style!

Sutton said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
