The Flyboys (7-7) won their third game in a row and finished up a six-game road trip 4-2 with the comeback win over the State Liners (7-7).

The State Liner’s left fielder Easton Rulli made the score 2-1 in the bottom of the second when he scored on a wild pitch, but it was a four-run fourth that gave Bristol a 5-2 lead. The State Liners scored all four runs with two outs in the inning.
The Flyboys responded with five runs in the seventh inning to retake the lead. They sent ten men to the plate and took the lead when Joel Dragoo hit a ground ball to third. Third baseman Jake Cooper tried to come home with the throw with the bases loaded, but he threw wildly allowing an additional Greeneville run to score.
