It was a good day for the Firebirds at Hunter Wright Stadium as they clipped the Kingsport Mets, 4-2. It was tremendous day for Jerry King, who was on a hitting barrage at the plate, finishing 5-for-5.

"I don't know what to call that," the Danville third baseman told reporters after his big performance. "I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' I just try to keep it simple. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then I hit it. Today I picked up the spin pretty well."

Jerry King hit a two-run double in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

King is presently hitting at a .278 pace with 12 home runs, 31 RBIs and has scored 38 times.
