Win Lifts Hammers to 6-6
Gwinnett and Louisville got after it at Louisville Slugger Stadium.

Kevin Kirby propelled his team to victory over the Louisville Bats. The final score was 8-5, Gwinnett. The Bats, now 2-10, continue their inauspicious start.

Gwinnett used a clutch at-bat from Jeff Abbott to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Hammers ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Abbott.
