Simmons Excels, Danville Blows Out Bluefield
The Danville Firebirds trumped the Bluefield Blue Jays, 13-0, at Bowen Field. Danville first baseman Shawn Simmons was terrific. He went 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Dan Bennett got credit for the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 2.1 innings. Danville raised its record to 9-5 with the win.

Lou Britt, the 22-year old catcher , had a direct impact on the outcome. Britt contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the fourth inning to put Danville up, 1-0.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Britt.
