Dollywood Beats Mexico City, 4-1
In the 4-1 Dollywood win over Mexico City, the impact of Kevin Johnson was substantial. Johnson was 4-4 with 4 singles. He scored 2 times. Gilberto Cortez got the win, improving to 5-1. He worked 5.2 innings, giving up 1 run on 7 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2. John Wicken collected his 2nd save.

John Capen had a big 2-run home run for the Partons in the bottom of the second inning. With Dollywood trailing 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Roy McLain, who leads the S-A with a 1.00 WHIP, and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Partons on top, 2-1.

"I thought we played a nice game," Johnson told the Dollywood Daily. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."

Dollywood has now won 7 in a row.
