Legends Handle Rome, Snag 11-7 Win
The performance of Kevin Miller proved critical in helping Lexington beat Rome, 11-7. The Legends first baseman was 2-5 with a home run, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4. António Díaz snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 4 hits over 2.2 innings. He's now 3-1 on the season. The third-place Legends go to 56-44.

Lexington took the lead, 7-5, on Elvis Bell's 3rd home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Rome pitcher Ron Cochran in the bottom of the seventh.

"We came out aggressive," said Legends manager Brad Lincoln. "We came out swinging the bats."
