Black Sox Edge Black Barons, 1-0
In a low-scoring clash between Baltimore and Birmingham, pitcher Connie Johnson was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned accolades in the 1-0 win. The AL Cumberland Posey Division-leading Black Sox are 82-55.

Curt Blefary drove in one run for Baltimore. The 25-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With no one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Alejandro Peña. It was his 73rd RBI of the season.

"I liked his command," said Baltimore manager Daniel Makonnen. "Connie was throwing strikes."
