PULASKI 11, KINGSPORT 16 (Box)

The K-Mets committed eight errors and walked seven batters but still somehow managed to win this epic affair. Props to anyone who actually watched this game start to finish and wasn't paid to do so.

• SS Luis Guillorme: 3-4, 2 R, RBI; .333/.403/.383; Apparently left this game after being struck in the head with a pitch. Hopefully nothing serious.

• CF Ivan Wilson: 0-3, R, RBI, 2 K; .220/.277/.458; The 50% strikeout rate is an issue.
• OF Wuilmer Becerra: dnp; .233/.320/.349
• LF Vicente Lupo: 1-4, R, 2B, 2 RBI, BB, 2 K; .200/.300/.314
