Black Barons Sneak Past Sea Dogs, 7-6
Black Barons third baseman Eddie Mathews put his stamp on his team's 7-6 win over the Portland Sea Dogs. Mathews was 1-2 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Birmingham in the contest. The win gives Birmingham a season record of 70-55.

Cupid Childs was the walk-off hero for Birmingham. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Black Barons second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Like I've always said, I'm the straw that stirs the drink," Mathews said (again).
