Mets Sneak Past Blue Jays, 4-3
The Kingsport Mets managed to get by the Bluefield Blue Jays, 4-3, at Bowen Field. Kingsport pitcher Rubén Villanueva set himself apart with his performance. The win puts Kingsport at 28-14 this season.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the ninth, with the game tied, Don Spencer was at the plate when Kingsport scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Mets to go in front, 4-3.

"Rubén made his pitches," said Kingsport manager Luis Avilan.
