Bears Deal Black Magic 8-2 Loss
The Memphis Bears topped the Birmingham Black Magic, 8-2, in Great Southern action at Black Magic Ballpark. The standout performance belonged to Memphis pitcher and Golden, Colorado, native Howard Cook. The Great Southern Dixie-leading Bears are 54-43.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for James Watkins? The Memphis second baseman had a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to put the Bears on top, 5-0. For the game, Watkins had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Watkins said.
