Firebirds Rally to Nose Past Kannapolis
The Rome Firebirds faced a tough opponent in Kannapolis pitcher Joe Wood, but did just enough to pull out the victory at CMC-NorthEast Stadium by a final score of 5-4 in 11 innings. Wood went 5.1 innings and allowed 2 runs. Rome reliever Lou Riley got the win, raising his record to 3-0. Jon Ward was tagged with the loss. Rome now sits at 55-36, while Kannapolis falls to 48-43.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Juan Valle? The 23-year old first baseman Valle stroked a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the 11th inning to put Rome up, 5-4. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 2 doubles and 1 single.

"The more wins we pile up," said Valle, "the more I like our chances."
