With third baseman Eddie Mathews leading the charge, the Birmingham Black Barons defeated the Indianapolis ABCs, 9-4, at Crosley Field.

The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. His record stands at 1-0. With the win over Indianapolis, the Black Barons improved to 68-76.

In the top of the eighth, the Black Barons grabbed the lead when Mathews hit his 46th home run of the season. The 2-run home run off Rob Murphy made it 4-3, Birmingham.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Indianapolis manager Daniel Makonnen.
