Road Win Lifts Gwinnett to 2-1 Lead in R1
The Gwinnett Firebirds moved to within one game of the Round 2, downing the Norfolk Tides on the road at Harbor Park by a score of 3-2. Firebirds right-hander Joe Byrd had a strong outing. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The win gives the Firebirds a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-5 Round 1.

Artie Bailey had a direct impact on the outcome. Bailey contributed a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put Gwinnett up, 2-1.

"Joe went out and did what we needed," said Gwinnett manager Jason Bourgeois.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Harbor Park in Norfolk.
