Johnson City Tops Bluefield Again, 7-5
Riding the 4-hit performance of second baseman Cristian Hernandez, the Johnson City Cardinals got a road win against the Bluefield Blue Jays, 7-5, in Game 2 of the Championship today. Hernandez went 4 for 4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk for the Cardinals, who now lead the best-of-5 series, 2 games to 0.

It could have been a different outcome for Johnson City, had it not been for Enrique Romero, the 19-year old right fielder . Romero contributed a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put Johnson City up, 7-2.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Romero.

Game 3 is scheduled for Wednesday at Howard Johnson Field in Johnson City.
