Rome Charts 4-2 Win Over West Virginia
The Rome Firebirds topped the West Virginia Power, 4-2, in South Atlantic League action at State Mutual Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Rome pitcher and Bay City, Michigan, native Don St. John. Reliever Ron Cochran picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Ken Roy took the loss. Lou Riley picked up his 8th save of the season.

Had Francis López not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, López hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Firebirds.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," St. John told the Rome Citizen.

With the win, Rome pushed its record to 19-12.
