Firebirds Squelch Blue Jays Offense in Shutout Win
Danville Firebirds starter José Moreno worked his magic, as he helped his team defeat the Bluefield Blue Jays, 3-0. In 5.2 innings, Moreno surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. The Firebirds bumped their record to 24-17 with this latest triumph.

In the bottom of the eighth, Cliff Watkins stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Blue Jays were trailing 3-0, but had the bases loaded. That's when Shawn Black made a terrific pitch and Watkins grounded out. Gone was the dream of a Bluefield comeback.
