Kingsport’s Axmen Baseball Team See’s Remaining Schedule Canceled After Former Player Makes Threats
The remaining portion of the Kingsport Axmen’s Appalachian League baseball season has been called out on strikes. In an open letter on the Boyd Sports website, President and COO Chris Allen says because the Kingsport players experienced troubling and concerning behavior involving former teammate Matthew Taylor, Kingsport’s remaining games have been canceled. Taylor, was released from the team and then went on a social media tyraid saying, he was going to kill everyone at the Axmen’s next game, and apparently made reference to Colombine 2.0. Taylor was arrested and released from jail after posting a 25 thousand dollar bond. Boyd Sports says the group is attempting to form another team to finish out Kingsport’s remaining schedule.
