Suns Get Thrilling 5-4 Win
The Jacksonville Suns beat the Birmingham Barons, 5-4, at Regions Park. Jacksonville right fielder Ron Reeves had an outstanding performance. He was 4 for 4 with 4 singles and a walk. Mal Fuller, now 3-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 2 innings. The loss drops Birmingham to 12-15.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Jorge Dueñas came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Birmingham pitcher Jeff Jones, he hit a first pitch slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Jacksonville on top, 5-4.

"This is a resilient bunch," said Jacksonville manager John Tamargo Jr..
