Firebirds Drop Intimidators, 7-3
Despite a great performance by Kannapolis right fielder Bob Bullard, the Rome Firebirds defeated the Intimidators by the score of 7-3 at CMC-NorthEast Stadium. Bullard was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. Curt Brown claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3.2 innings. His record stands at 2-0. Rome is now 77-48, 4½ games up in the Southern Division.

It could have been a different outcome for Rome, had it not been for Jorge Alirez, the 22-year old catcher . Alirez contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning to put Rome up, 3-2.

Alirez called the win "a pick-me-upper."
