Bears Earn 3-2 Win Against Black Magic
In a tight contest between the Memphis Bears and the Birmingham Black Magic, Howard Cook was the determining factor. The Memphis right-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. The Bears raised their record to 43-64.

Cook went the distance -- and then some -- for the Bears, throwing 11 innings of 5-hit ball against the Black Magic, striking out 4.

"I was able to change speeds effectively tonight," said Cook.
