Firebirds Lose to Barons in Walk Off
The Birmingham Barons wiggled past the Mississippi Firebirds, 4-3, at Regions Park. The win was highlighted by the performance of Birmingham pitcher José Gonzáles. Birmingham reliever Kip Larson picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Jesus Jones absorbed the loss. The triumph puts Birmingham at 56-53 for the season.

The Barons relied on catcher Bob Williams for the game-winning hit. And, in the bottom of the 14th, he delivered, hitting a run-scoring double to seal the deal.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Williams.
