Round 1 Game 1 Victory for Ishikawa and Johnson City
If the Kingsport Mets were expecting the pressure of the playoffs to get to Masumitsu Ishikawa, they underestimated the old man.

The Johnson City Cardinals got a strong start from the 38-year-old left-hander. Ishikawa threw 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball as Johnson City won the contest, 5-2, at Howard Johnson Field to take the lead in their best-of-5 series with the Mets. The Cardinals now lead 1-0.

Efrain Castro, the Johnson City left fielder, contributed a run-scoring single in the bottom of the third inning to make the score 2-0, Cardinals. For the game, Castro was 2 for 4 with a triple.

Said Kingsport manager Juan Nunez: "They just got the better of us."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Howard Johnson Field in Johnson City.
