Power Jolt Firebirds, 2-0, with Late Rally
In a low-scoring affair between the West Virginia Power and the Rome Firebirds, pitcher Joe Burgess was the difference between victory and defeat. The West Virginia right-hander earned kudos in the 2-0 Power win. West Virginia reliever Ken Roy picked up the win to move to 2-4. Jim Keys suffered the loss. The win hiked the West Virginia record to 49-45.

West Virginia went up, 1-0, on Rodrigo Tovar's 8th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Tovar hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Rome pitcher Jim Keys stewing.

"Everything felt in sync," said Burgess.
