Royals Tack 6-2 Loss on Kingsport
The Kingsport Mets could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Cisco Villarreal into a win. Instead, the Burlington Royals prevailed, 6-2. Villarreal threw 5.0 innings of shutout ball. Alan Graham earned the win, while 24-year old right-handed pitcher Joe Johns took the loss for Kingsport. This win makes it 5 in a row for Burlington.

It could have been a different outcome for Burlington, had it not been for Daniel De Jesús, the 22-year old catcher . De Jesús contributed a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put Burlington up, 4-2.

"It's Baseball 101," said Burlington manager Bartolo Colon. "Fundamentals."
