Rookie: Elizabethton Twins 4, Bluefield Blue Jays 1 (Game 2)

The baby Twins scored three runs in the top of the 3rd and one run in the top of the 7th inninng in this win over the baby Blue Jays. 1B Amaurys Minier had both RBI for the Twins—and I say both because two of the runs came thanks to errors. Heck, the Twins only had five hits total in the game.

SP Tyler Wells pitched 5.1 innings for the Twins, giving up no earned runs and only one walk in the outing. He did give up an unearned run, however, thanks to an error by 2B Manuel Guzman.
