Firebirds Net 8-5 Win Over Legends
The Rome Firebirds beat the Lexington Legends, 8-5, at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. Rome designated hitter Iván Montoya had the hot bat. He was 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Kevin Key earned the win for Rome. He lasted 7.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 9. With the win, he raised his record to 1-0. Rome sits in 6th place in the Southern Division at 31-39.

In the bottom of the eighth, Alvare Dutra stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Legends were trailing 6-3, but had runners on 1st and 3rd. That's when Don Ryan made a terrific pitch and Dutra flied out. Gone was the dream of a Lexington comeback.
