The winner was Tommy Peterson in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jerry Beck took the loss. Donnie Turner saved it for Danville.

Steve Battle delivered a big hit for Danville. The first baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Firebirds ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Battle said.
