The Lexington Legends knocked off the Rome Firebirds, 2-1, in South Atlantic League action at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. Lexington pitcher and Casa Grande, Arizona, native Ben Tucker had an outstanding performance. Lexington is now 57-44, while Rome is 60-41.

The decisive blow was delivered by Héctor Marín in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a run-scoring double off 21-year old right-handed pitcher Lou Riley to win the game for Lexington. The home crowd went nuts.

Lexington manager Brad Lincoln called it "a good, solid win."
