Multi-HR Day for Ferguson as Pirates Overpower Firebirds, 8-2
A 6-RBI performance from the 20-year old catcher Ronnie Ferguson helped the Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates beat the Atlanta (GCL) Firebirds, 8-2. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Pirates.

In the bottom of the fifth, Eric Wilkerson delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Pittsburgh (GCL) right fielder hit a run-scoring single, putting the Pirates in front, 8-2.

Wilkerson expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
