The Birmingham Barons could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Jorge Santiago into a win. Instead, the Jacksonville Suns prevailed, 2-1. Santiago threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball. Mal Fuller, who is tied for 8th in the SL in wins with 8, was the winner in relief. His record is now 8-1. The losing pitcher was José Vargas. The Suns have an impressive 63-29 record.

Jorge Dueñas delivered a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth to win it for the Suns. For the game, Dueñas went 1 for 2.

Afterward, Suns manager John Tamargo Jr. was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
