Barons Improve to 63-61 with 4-1 Win
The Birmingham Barons scooped up a win at Regions Park, dumping the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, 4-1. Héctor Ochoa, who is tied for 2nd in the SL with a 2.15 ERA, was essential to his team's success. The winner was Ochoa. He threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball. The loser was Chad Johnson. Jose A. Suarez notched his 19th save in 20 chances.

In the bottom of the fourth, Sanho Caixeiro delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and the bases loaded, the Birmingham first baseman hit a 2-run single, putting the Barons in front, 4-1.

"Some of the guys in here work hard, some of the guys just kind of fall out of bed and get it done. Whatever works I guess, we won this one," Caixeiro told the Birmingham Today.

The victory gives the Barons a record of 63-61.
