Blue Jays Pick Up 3-0 Road Win Over Welch
In a low-scoring affair between the Bluefield Blue Jays and the Welch Miners, pitcher Paxton Grippaldi was the difference between victory and defeat. The Bluefield right-hander earned kudos in the 3-0 Blue Jays win. In 7 innings, Grippaldi surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. Bluefield is now 37-19.

Bluefield won the game in part because of Ryder Mitchell. The right fielder ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 2-0. For the game, Mitchell had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Things will change for us," said Welch manager Nate Davis. "When things change, we'll get clicking."
