Rome Scrapes Out 2-1 Win
The Rome Firebirds weathered an outstanding game by Lexington designated hitter Ed Barton to topple the Legends, 2-1. Barton threw 8.1 innings of 5-hit ball. Picking up the save was Lou Riley. He's now 28 for 33 in save chances. Rome is now 61-41, while Lexington is 57-45.

Rome took a 2-1 lead on José González's 10th home run of the season. The solo home run, which González hit in the top of the ninth, left Lexington pitcher Kevin Richardson visibly frustrated.

"The old adage is true," said González. "Good pitching stops good hitting."
