The Memphis Bears beat the Birmingham Black Magic, 10-4. Memphis pitcher and Joliet, Illinois, native John Coley led the way. Memphis goes to 2-3.

The Bears got a big hit from third baseman Frank Saunders. Facing Birmingham pitcher Bill Wiggins in the top of the fifth, Saunders pounded a bases-clearing double to left-center. His 2nd double of the season put the Bears ahead, 9-1.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Coley. "Those qualities define our team."
