2-1 Triumph Takes Johnson City to 17-4
Johnson City pitcher Ricky Fifield did his part in helping his team beat the Bluefield Blue Jays, 2-1. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Picking up the save was 18-year old right-handed pitcher Marco Loreto. The first-place Cardinals now sit at 17-4.

Josh Ciardi, who is tied for 8th in the APP with a .353 batting average, had a direct impact on the outcome. Ciardi contributed a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning to put Johnson City up, 2-0.

"We scored one run," said Bluefield manager Nate Todaro. "You're not gonna get a lot of Ws scoring just one run."
