Memphis Beats Baltimore, 4-2
Memphis and Baltimore took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

Memphis Red Sox starter Tom Seaver turned in a top-notch performance against the Baltimore Black Sox at Camden Yards. The result was a win for the Red Sox, 4-2. Seaver got the win, improving to 2-1. He gave up 6 hits and walked 3 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run. Armando Benitez was credited with the save for Memphis, his 2nd of the season.

Memphis used a well-timed hit by John Briggs to capture the win. The center fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Memphis manager Daniel Makonnen commended his team for exhibiting "no shortage of effort."

The loss drops Baltimore to 8-22.
