Mississippi Drops Birmingham, 7-4
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Mississippi Firebirds and Birmingham Barons.

The Mississippi Firebirds topped the Birmingham Barons by the score of 7-4, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Brandon Diaz. Diaz was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs for the Firebirds. Gregori Vasquez was the winner. Over 6 innings, he allowed 1 run on 8 hits, with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts. Tommy Jones finished the game for Mississippi and earned his 1st save.

Mississippi relied on the hitting of Ji-man Choi to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Firebirds on top, 3-0. For the game, Choi had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Choi told a Mississippi Gazette reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."

Mississippi has now won 3 straight, while the Barons have lost 5 in a row.
