APPALACHIAN LEAGUE: Bristol White Sox Get Best of Kingsport Mets

Onarkys Paniagua worked six strong innings, Jordan Kendall connected for two hits and the Bristol White Sox took advantage of four errors en route to a 3-1 victory over the Kingsport Mets on Tuesday night at DeVault Stadium.

Paniagua (1-0, 4.09 ERA) allowed just one run on five hits in six innings of work. The right-hander from the Dominican Republic did not issue a walk and struck out seven.
Michael Lucas followed with two shutout innings of relief, while Kevin Asselin pitched a perfect ninth inning for his second save.

None of Bristol’s six hits went for extra bases, but the Sox (4-3) were helped out by the fact Kingsport made four errors. Three of the miscues were made by teenage shortstop Wilmer Flores of the K-Mets, a prized prospect.

Bristol will try to win the three-game series against Kingsport tonight at 7 p.m. at DeVault Stadium. The game will be sponsored by Premier 1 Realty and one lucky fan will win $400 in gas as part of a free give-away.
