The Birmingham Black Barons defeated the Brooklyn Royal Giants, 7-6, at Ebbets Field. Birmingham was led by 22-year old third baseman Eddie Mathews, who went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. The loss makes Brooklyn 48-36.

Birmingham used the hitting of Adrián González to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Black Barons on top, 2-1. For the game, González had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We take it day by day here," said González, "and today was a good one for us."
