On Road, Rome Drops Asheville, 10-7
Rome catcher Al Donoghue helped his team beat the Asheville Tourists, 10-7. Donoghue went 3 for 4 for the Firebirds. Jorge Soto was the winner. Over 5.1 innings, he yielded 4 runs on 5 hits, with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts. Lou Riley was credited with the save, his 31st in 36 tries.

Luis Rivera drove in one run for Rome. The 22-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Joe Mitchell. It was his 45th RBI of the season.

"We want to make a habit of winning," Rivera said after the game.

The defeat makes Asheville 57-51.
