Firebirds Absorb 7-5 Loss at Whitaker Bank Ballpark
The Lexington Legends beat the Rome Firebirds, 7-5, at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. Jeff O'Duana went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 times. The 22-year old center fielder was a menace to Rome all day. Héctor Ramos picked up the win, lifting his record to 7-3 on the season. He struck out 6 and walked 1 in 6.1 innings, while yielding 5 runs. Steve Brown notched his 18th save in 22 chances.

The Legends got a big at-bat from right fielder Manny García. For the game, García went 1-3 with a double and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fifth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 12th double of the season gave Lexington a 4-3 lead.

García said, "Whether you hit the ball hard, you walk, you have a long at-bat, 10 or 12 pitches, or you hit a homer, you're just trying to do anything you can do to help the team win."

The win for the Legends raised their record to 41-28.
