Black Magic Top Black Rifles in Extras, 3-2
The Birmingham Black Magic did just enough to sneak past the Richmond Black Rifles, 3-2, at Black Rifles Ballpark. Birmingham pitcher William Taylor, in particular, had a standout performance. The Black Magic, now 4-2, have played some good baseball in the early going.

Birmingham used the timely hitting of Jimmy Butts to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Black Magic on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"William did a heck of a job," said Birmingham manager John Henderson.
