THE TAMPA BAY RAYS WILL HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE WHILE FOR DAVID PRICE.

BUT AT THIS RATE - IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THE FORMER VANDERBILT PITCHER IS IN THE MAJORS.

PRICE IS CURRENTLY PITCHING FOR THE DOUBLE-A MONTGOMERY BISCUITS - WHO HAPPENED TO BE IN JACKON SUNDAY NIGHT.

FOX 17'S DAVE FOSTER HAS MORE ON THE FORMER DORES RETURN TO TENNESSEE!

MINOR LEAGUERS ARE AT THE MERCY OF DAVID PRICE.

(Price k's batter)

THE FORMER VANDY HURLER HAS BEEN ALMOST UNHITTABLE IN 9 PROFESSIONAL STARTS .. WITH 7 WINS, NO LOSSES AND ONLY 10 TOTAL RUNS ALLOWED.

(Price k's batter)

SUNDAY'S VICTORY CAME IN FRONT OF MANY OF HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY, INCLUDING HIS MOM AND DAD - WHO MADE THE DRIVE TO JACKSON TO SEE THE MURFREESBORO NATIVE.

((Debbie Price:"It was a great treat to have friends and family here to see him. Hearing the crowd behind him, it was real nice."))

((David Price:"I was kind of thrown off when I saw the Tennessee license plates, but it feels good to be back home."))

THE BIGGEST QUESTION HAS BECOME - HOW LONG CAN THE RAYS KEEP THEIR NUMBER 1 PICK IN THE MINORS?

HIS BIG LEFT ARM COULD BE HELPFUL TO A TEAM THAT IS IN THE HUNT FOR THE PLAYOFFS.

((Price:"With the Rays doing what they've been doing, don't fix it if it's not broken. I love these guys, getting used to traveling around, it's fun."))

AND FUN SO FAR HAS MEANT WINNING...AND MORE WINNING...FOR PRICE...

((Price:"I've had 8 or 9 starts and I want to win every time I go out there and that's never going to change for the rest of my life."))

((Bonnie Price:"He's a fighter. When he has the ball, he feels that he's going to come after you."))

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THE RAYS CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON...DAVE FOSTER .. FOX 17 SPORTS!

PRICE GAVE UP JUST FOUR HITS IN SEVEN INNINGS OF WORK SUNDAY NIGHT.

HE STRUCK OUT SIX BATTERS AND ONLY ALLOWED ONE RUN.

AT ONE POINT - HE RETIRED SEVENTEEN STRAIGHT DIAMOND JAXX!
