Pensacola Beats Birmingham, 5-0
Pensacola pitcher Doug Merkel did his part in helping his team defeat the Birmingham Barons, 5-0. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. Merkel yielded no runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 11-7. Pensacola leads the North Division by 11 games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Cristo Muñíz? The Pensacola catcher had a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Blue Wahoos on top, 2-0. For the game, Muñíz had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Muñíz attributed the win to "a well-rounded effort by the whole team."
