Soggy conditions did not keep Princeton and Johnson City from playing their scheduled game.

The Johnson City Cardinals had their hands full with Princeton Rays starter Joe Connell, who frustrated Johnson City hitters while leading Princeton to a comfortable, 7-1 win. Connell picked up the win for Princeton, going 5 innings. He gave up no runs on 2 hits. He now sports a record of 6-1.

The Rays got a big at-bat from shortstop Brian McDonald. For the game, McDonald was 1-5 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 6th home run of the season gave Princeton a 2-0 lead.

"The vibe's good," said Princeton manager Rusty Brady. "We've got to keep it going."

Princeton has run its win streak to 6 in a row.
