Mets Make Pirates 6-2 Losers
Good production from catcher Waldemar Burkot helped the Kingsport Mets topple the Bristol Pirates, 6-2. Burkot was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Mets. The Mets improved their record to 21-12 with the win over Bristol.

Kingsport used a well-timed hit by Steve Hunt to capture the win. The first baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Mets ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Burkot.
