Birmingham Barons (3-3) 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1

Birmingham Sent Home with 2-1 Loss
The Jacksonville Suns got a magnificent performance from pitcher Orlando Rivera, who muffled the Birmingham offense en route to a tight, 2-1 Suns win at Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. In 7 innings, Rivera surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. Jacksonville, with the win, is 4-2.

Had Jean-Paul Robert not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Robert hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Suns.

"They were just a little bit better than us," Birmingham manager Casey Kopitzke said.
