Firebirds Tuck Away 10-4 Win Over Antioch
With shortstop Darrell Ball leading the charge, the Albany Firebirds defeated the Antioch Coal Miners, 10-4, at Capital Grounds. Ball was 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The 6th-place Firebirds sport a record of 47-62.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the bottom of the second. That's when Firebirds catcher Mike Grant hit a forkball from Heriberto Diaz for a 2-run single. Just like that, Albany was up, 2-1.

"We hit the ball hard," said Albany manager Vicente Vargas. "Line drive after line drive."
