Astros Do In Rays, 8-6
Princeton got a terrific game from catcher Forrest Clayton. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Greeneville, 8-6. Clayton was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Mike McCormick was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed 5 runs on 7 hits, with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. Dave Kennedy picked up his 1st save of the season.

Hideki Nagao had a big grand slam home run for the Astros in the bottom of the first inning. With Greeneville leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Jose Esparza and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Astros on top, 5-0.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Greeneville manager Carlos Diaz.

The Astros, now 10-2, have had a terrific start to the season.
