Murphy Swings Black Magic to 8-3 Win
A good performance from first baseman Bruce Murphy helped the Birmingham Black Magic defeat the Kansas City Stars, 8-3. Murphy went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Black Magic. Birmingham is in third place in the Great Southern Steamboat with a record of 15-19.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the sixth, with the game tied, Otha Brown was at the plate when Birmingham scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Black Magic to go in front, 4-3.

In postgame remarks, Murphy said: "To all who've been doubting my effort -- I hope they saw this game."
