Kingsport, Tennessee
Thursday’s Appalachian League contest at Hunter Wright Stadium will go down as one of the true oddities in league history after Kingsport picked up a 5-2 win over Bluefield despite having only one hit.
The Axmen (14-13) drew 11 walks, had three batters hit by pitches and didn’t get a hit until the bottom of the eighth inning, a bleeder by pinch-hitter Cole Swift that got through the hole between shortstop and third.
The Axmen got on the board in the bottom of the first in large part because of Ridge Runners mistakes.
Three of the first five Kingsport batters walked to load the bases with two outs. With Dominik Ramil at the plate, Ryan Miller scored on a wild pitch in the dirt for the game’s first run.
The bottom of the fourth was much the same for Kingsport — capitalizing on Bluefield mistakes.
With one out, Mayes White reached on an error and Kevin Fernandez was plunked. The runners moved up 90 feet on a double steal, and White came home on an Andrew Citron sac fly to left field.
Fernandez scored on another wild pitch and Kingsport, still hitless, led 3-0 through four innings.

Another run was through a balk with the bases loaded.
Bluefield (12-12) got five hits but finished 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position.
