Cross Stars for Barons in 9-5 Win
Getting a good performance from designated hitter Ben Cross, the Birmingham Barons defeated the Mobile BayBears, 9-5. Cross was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Barons. The third-place Barons improved to 66-63.

Birmingham used the timely hitting of José Alfonso to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Barons on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Alfonso.
