Birmingham Tops Richmond, 4-2
The Birmingham Black Magic tallied a win at Black Rifles Ballpark, throttling the Richmond Black Rifles, 4-2. Starting pitcher Bill Wiggins was a big reason for his team's success. Wiggins yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 3, and struck out 3. His record improves to 10-8. The setback makes Richmond 41-52.

Birmingham used a well-timed hit by Otha Brown to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Black Magic ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Birmingham manager Emmett Tompkins. "It's usually not just one thing."
