Johnson City Slaps 4-1 Loss on Princeton
The Johnson City Cardinals locked up a win at Howard Johnson Field, knocking off the Princeton Rays, 4-1. On the mound for Johnson City was right-hander Ron Hart. He played a major role in the triumph. Hart, the winner, moves to 5-2. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 8 and giving up 6 walks. With this game in the books, Johnson City is 26-28, Princeton 32-22.

Had Clint Sasser not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Sasser hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Cardinals.

Sasser called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."
