Madison Decked, 8-5, by Firebirds
The Albany Firebirds knocked off the Madison Muskies, 8-5, at The Corral. Akatelaji Dingane was a big reason Albany won. The center fielder went 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI. Manny Fajardo earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 3.1 innings. He upped his record to 1-3. Earning the save was Israel Sanchez. He's now cashed in 10 of 12 save opportunities.

With Albany leading 5-4 in the top of the seventh, Dingane hit a sinker from Josh Caroleo for a bases-clearing triple. It was his 2nd triple of the season and put the Firebirds ahead, 8-4.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Dingane.

With the win over Madison, the Firebirds improved to 42-57.
