Monarchs Beaten By Black Barons, 9-5
The Birmingham Black Barons stopped the Kansas City Monarchs, 9-5, at Muehlebach Field 1923-1941. The Black Barons got a big game from Eddie Mathews, who was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Jim Whitney recorded the save, his 1st. Birmingham is now 1-3.

Birmingham used a well-timed hit by Albert Belle to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Black Barons ahead, 6-4. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Belle told the Birmingham Today.
