Mets Hold Off Cardinals, 3-2
The Johnson City Cardinals and Kingsport Mets provided some drama for the home crowd.

The Kingsport Mets picked up a win at Hunter Wright Stadium, knocking off the Johnson City Cardinals, 3-2. Starting pitcher Dan Walker was a big reason why. The first-place Mets have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Mets had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the third, when second baseman Lonnie Johnston hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Brad Willis and made the score 3-1, Mets. Johnston was 1-3 with a walk.

"Dan kept them off-balance, threw a great game for us," said Mets manager Luis Avilan.
