Firebirds Edge Sand Gnats, 5-4
The home team was supported by a raucous crowd at State Mutual Stadium.

Rome Firebirds starter Ken Townsend pitched a strong game against the Savannah Sand Gnats at State Mutual Stadium, leading the Firebirds to victory, 5-4. The victory makes Rome 16-11.

Rome took a 5-3 lead on Arturo Guzmán's 2nd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Guzmán hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Savannah pitcher José Sepúlveda visibly frustrated.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Guzmán told the Rome Citizen.
