Birmingham Gets 4-1 Win
Rob Nance pitched well, but his team, the Mississippi Hammers, still dropped a 4-1 decision to the Birmingham Barons at Trustmark Park. The second-place Hammers dropped to 29-22.

Birmingham used a well-timed hit by Tony Lucero to capture the win. The first baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Barons ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Birmingham manager Casey Kopitzke commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
