Late Rally by Cardinals Locks Up 5-4 Win
The Cardinals grabbed a win, 5-4, at Hunter Wright Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Kingsport pitcher Steve Randolph. Randolph went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Ben Lee earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record is now 1-0. The Cardinals bumped their record to 19-15 with this latest triumph.

Johnson City took a 5-4 lead on Greg Baldwin's 2nd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Baldwin hit in the top of the ninth, left Kingsport pitcher Ken Gibson visibly frustrated.

Johnson City manager Paul McAnulty commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
