Down Goes Birmingham, 8-1
The Richmond Black Rifles and starting pitcher James Heywood stifled the Birmingham offense en route to a comfortable 8-1 win at Black Rifles Ballpark. Heywood, who finished 2nd in the GNL in ERA with 2.04 in 1915, went the distance for Richmond. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. Richmond is off to a sluggish start, getting just their 4th win in 13 games.

In the bottom of the fifth, Richmond shortstop Oliver Rider had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Rider stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 2-0, Richmond. For the game, he went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI.

"If you can control the count and control the hitter, you're going to have the upper hand," said Heywood.
