    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:The Blueeld Blue Jays battled back twice, but could not do it a third time. The Jays came back from a pair of two-run decits, but the KingsporMets pulled ahead with three unanswered runs to win 7-4 at Bowen Field on Friday. Blueeld starter Grifn Murphy made his second straight start and allowed a two-out, two-homer to Tomas Nido in the top of the rst. Those were the rst earned runs against Murphy since July 5. The Jays rallied in the second against starter Andrew Massie with RBsingles by Matt Dean and D.J. Davis that tied the game. Kingsport took the lead again in the third on Jorge Riveros sacrice y that knocked out Murphy. He allowed three runson three hits in two and two-thirds innings. Colby Broussard got out of the third inning, but allowed a homer to Jon Leroux that made it a two-run game again. Blueeld evenedthe score again in the bottom of the fourth on Emilio Guerreros two-out, two-run double as Davis came all the way around from rst with the tying run. The Mets took the lead fgood against Broussard in the next frame. Two hit by pitches and a walk loaded the bases and he followed that with a wild pitch that sent home Nido with the go-ahead run. Witone out in the bottom of the fth, rain caused a stoppage of the game for 51 minutes. Juan Urbina faced one batter before the delay, but came back out and breezed through theBlueeld order, striking out ve in three hitless innings to get through the seventh. The visitors knocked two insurance runs home against Joe Spano in the seventh, but the leftset down seven of the last eight batters he faced. Julio Carmona struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth. Matt Budgell posted zeroes in the eighth and ninth to lock down the six-out savBlueeld has struggled against the two worst teams in the Appy League. The Mets are 19-38 against the rest of the league but have won four of ve against Blueeld. Bristol isthe basement at 17-43, but has a 4-2 record against the Jays.

    VS. THE METS:The Mets have struggled mightily in 2012, but they lead the season series four games to one after winning a set in Kingsport June 28-30 and taking twogames this week. Blueeld was held hitless by John Gant for ve innings in the rst game. The Jays rallied for three runs in the sixth to take the lead, but the Mets came backto win. The Jays evened the series with a 12-3 rout behind Dwight Smith Jr.s rst pro homer. Kingsport made six errors in the rubber game, but still won 13-9. The Blue Jaysdominated the Mets in 2011, especially at Bowen Field. Blueeld won ve of six meetings, including a three-game home sweep from July 15-17 by a combined score of 17-3. weeks later in Kingsport, the Jays won two out of three.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -GONZALEZ: Six-foot-ve left-hander Alonzo Gonzalez wowed in his Appalachian League debut on Monday against Pulaski. He shut out the Mariners for six innings, alloonly two hits and striking out ve. The 20-year-old was called up from the Gulf Coast League last Wednesday and he started the season 3-3 with a 5.15 ERA in 36.2 innings for GCL Jays. Alonzo hails from Santa Monica and was chosen by Toronto in the 18th round of this Junes draft out of Glendale Community College.

    GANT:19-year-old righty John Gant looks to earn the sweep for the Mets. He was roughed up in his rst ve starts (7.94 ERA), but his last ve outings have been much be(1.63 ERA). On Monday at Burlington, Gant held the Royals to one run in ve and one-third innings and did not get a decision. On June 28, he held the Jays without a hit for veinnings, but was tagged for three runs in the sixth. He was a 21st-round pick in last years draft coming out of Wiregrass Ranch High School in Wesley Chapel, FL. In his seniorseason, he went 6-0 with a 1.90 ERA and two no-hitters and was named All-North Suncoast Pitcher of the Year. He allowed six runs in 8.1 innings in four appearances in the GClast year. He had committed to Long Island University prior to signing with the Mets.

    ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END:When Tomas Nido hit a two-run homer off of Blueeld southpaw Grifn Murphy in the rst inning yesterday, itsnapped Murphys string of 25.2 innings without allowing an earned run. It was the rst time an earned run came across against him since July 5. The streak spanned 11 appeances and he ran it up against eight of the other nine teams in the league (he did not face Johnson City this year).

    THE TERMINATOR:Seth Conner is close to reaching the league qualifer (2.7 plate appearances per team game) for batting rate stats. The Rogersville, MO native needs 1plate appearances in the nal four games to reach the 179 PA plateau. He is batting .303, the tenth-highest among Appy Leaguers with at least 160 plate appearances. He rankthird with a .424 on base percentage and his .856 OPS is fth.

    WELCOME ABOARD:Two new players join the Blue Jays today. Outelder Dalton Pompey was hitting .294 with a .442 OBP for Short Season-A Vancouver before a broke

    hamate bone in his left wrist put him on the DL only 11 games into the season. The Mississauga, Ontario native was a 16th-round pick in 2010 and split last season between thGCL and Blueeld. He hit .357 and scored four runs in ve Appy League playoff games last year. Another Canadian, second baseman Justin Atkinson, moves up from the GCL ahitting .259 in 52 games this season. Hailing from Surrey, British Columbia, Atkinson was taken in the 26th round of last years draft. He hit .279 in 12 games for the GCL Jays 2012 in his rst professional action. Both of the new arrivals are in tonights starting lineup. Atkinson will play second base and bat cleanup and Pompey will bat sixth in right e

    APPY LEAGUE HONOR:Blueeld right-hander Jeremy Gabryszwski was named to the 2012 Appalachian League All-Star Team, which was voted on by opposing manaers, executives and media and announced on Wednesday. The honor is more impressive considering there are only three pitchers on the squad. The 19-year-old was the leagu

    choice for right-handed starter and Princetons Blake Snell was the teams lefty starter. Jeremy is 3-0 with a 2.35 ERA in 11 games (ninestarts). Hes only allowed 44 hits in 46 innings of work. Gabby is just short of the league qualier, but his 2.35 ERA would lead the leagueis fourth among Appy Leaguers with at least 45 IP. The Crosby, Texas native has the third-lowest WHIP (1.04) despite striking out only 4.3 bters per nine innings (second-lowest among 40 IP pitchers). That success is due to his ability to pound the strike zone, as hes only walked batters in 46 innings (0.78 BB/9). That includes a streak from July 14 to August 12 in which he went 24.2 innings without issuing a free pas
