Firebirds Hand Blue Wahoos 7-2 Loss
At Five County Stadium, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos and Mississippi Firebirds were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Mississippi beat Pensacola on the strength of starting pitcher Joe Byrd's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 7-2. The first-place Firebirds have a one-game lead in their division.

Mississippi used a clutch at-bat from Al Ford to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Firebirds ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Byrd.
