Firebirds Axe Blue Jays, 14-3
José Espinoza left his imprint on the 14-3 Danville win against the Bluefield Blue Jays. Espinoza went 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The Blue Jays fall to 6-7 and continue their wobbly start to the 2025 season.

The Firebirds got a big boost from shortstop Dan Hill who had a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the first inning off Blue Jays hurler Mario Morán. It was his 11th walk of the season and put Danville on top, 1-0.

Said Bluefield manager Jose Mejia after the blowout loss: "They did pretty much every facet of the game better than we did and that's why we lost."
