Rome Beats Savannah in Extra Innings
The Savannah Sand Gnats got a superb performance from pitcher Monte Craig, but the Rome Firebirds still won the game, 3-2. Craig threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball. Lou Riley, who is tied for 2nd in the SAL in saves with 18, nailed down the save. The win hiked the Rome record to 39-25.

Iván Montoya delivered a big hit for Rome. The third baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Firebirds ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

Montoya attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
