Birmingham Dispatched, 13-5, by Mississippi
Al Ford was instrumental in his team's 13-5 triumph over the Birmingham Barons. The second baseman was 2-4 with a triple and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Mississippi Firebirds. The Firebirds have an impressive 49-29 record.

Jeff Cleeve had a big 2-run double for the Firebirds in the bottom of the first inning. With Mississippi leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a changeup from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Miller and swatted a double to left. It was his 1st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Firebirds ahead, 3-0.

"We hit the ball hard," said Mississippi manager Chris Herrmann. "Line drive after line drive."
