Mississippi Gets 6-3 Win Against Smokies
Mississippi Firebirds starter Alfredo Álvarez was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Tennessee Smokies, 6-3. The win brings the Firebirds to 10-6, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

Desi Rush had a big 2-run double for the Firebirds in the bottom of the third inning. With Mississippi leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Randy Byrd and swatted a double to center. It was his 5th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Firebirds ahead, 3-0.

After the game, Mississippi manager Chris Herrmann applauded the team's effort. "We put some good AB's together," he said.
