Barons Drop Firebirds, 7-3
The Birmingham Barons and Mississippi Firebirds put on quite a show.

Led by Greg Battle, the Birmingham Barons defeated the Mississippi Firebirds, 7-3, in 12 innings. Battle was 2 for 4 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Barons. The victory gives Birmingham a record of 39-38.

Joe Morgan came through with a big-time hit for Birmingham. The first baseman smacked a grand slam home run in the top of the 12th inning to give his team the lead, 7-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Morgan.
