Andujar Homers Twice in 7-4 Firebirds Win
The Atlanta Firebirds defeated the Chicago Cubs, 7-4, in part because of shortstop Miguel Andujar. Andujar went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Firebirds. The win belonged to Jesús Rodríguez in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Jose G. Gonzalez took the loss for Chicago. Dan Hicks was called on to finish, recording his 8th save.

Andujar had an important at-bat with a runner on 1st in the top of the sixth, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Firebirds went on to win.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Andujar.

The victory puts Atlanta at 56-84.
