Mississippi Slaps 4-1 Loss on Birmingham
Mitch Keller brought his A-game to help Mississippi defeat the Birmingham Barons, 4-1. António Martínez, who is tied for 4th in the SL in wins with 8, nailed down the save. The Firebirds have an impressive 50-31 record.

Ferrie van Enk went 1 for 3 for Mississippi. The 25-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With no one out and a runner on 2nd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring single off José Gonzáles. It was his 49th hit of the season.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Casey Kopitzke.
