Birmingham Dismisses Mississippi, 4-3
In a close game at Trustmark Park, the Birmingham Barons edged the Mississippi Firebirds, 4-3. Birmingham second baseman Waylon McFergus stood apart with his performance. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times. Augusto Sánchez went 6.1 innings for Birmingham to pick up the win. The left-hander was charged with 3 runs. He scattered 7 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 6. His record improves to 3-1. The save went to Jose A. Suarez, his 4th this season.

Birmingham used the timely hitting of Joe Morgan to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Barons on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

In postgame remarks, Morgan hailed his team's "mettle."

The win hiked the Birmingham record to 41-39.
