Firebirds Score Late, Top Crawdads, 2-1
Rome Firebirds pitcher Don St. John was in fine form, leading his team past the Hickory Crawdads, 2-1. Rome reliever Jorge Soto picked up the win to move to 2-2. Joe Heisey suffered the loss. Lou Riley collected his 14th save.

Had Luis Rivera not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Rivera hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Firebirds.

"We won," said St. John. "But they made us earn it."

The victory gives the Firebirds a record of 28-18.
