Brooklyn 0, Aberdeen 1 in 16 innings

The failure of the Cyclones to do anything against Jacob Smith (normally a short reliever pushed to 6 innings) ended up biting them in the butt tonight, as they fell 1-0 in 16. They were held to just 7 hits and 2 walks, while going just 0 for 5 with RISP and leaving 9 on base.

On the flip side, 4 Cyclone pitchers combined to allow just 9 hits and 4 walks, with Mike Lynn suffering the loss after escaping his own bases loaded no out jam in the 15th, then giving up a run in the 16th.

Kingsport 5, Elizabethon 6 in 10 innings

The Mets offense had just 9 hits, but drew 5 walks, and were 3 for 10 with RISP, while leaving 8 men on base.
