Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Firebirds
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Atlanta Firebirds and San Francisco Giants.

The Atlanta Firebirds topped the San Francisco Giants, 10-3, in National League action at AT&T Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Atlanta pitcher Sandy Alcantara. Mitch Keller picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 3-2. Curt Graham was tagged with the loss.

Atlanta used the timely hitting of Eric James to capture the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Firebirds on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said San Francisco manager Travis Fryman. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."

Atlanta now owns a record of 54-55.
