Comment on K-Mets win slugfest in Princeton

The Kingsport Mets turned back a Princeton Rays rally in an 8-6 Appy League homer-fest Friday night at Hunnicutt Field. The teams combined for six home runs, three from each side. All but one were solo blasts, including two in the top of the first by Kingsport’s Rigoberto Terrazas and Jeremy Vasquez that gave the Mets (12-15) an early 2-0 advantage. Ronaldo Hernandez got the Rays (12-17) in the longball derby with a solo shot in the second to cut the Kingsport advantage in half. Dionis Paulino put the K-Mets back up by two, 3-1, with a solo blast in the top of the fourth.
