Black Magic Snag 7-4 Win
Starting pitcher Tom Smith pitched well enough to help the Birmingham Black Magic beat the Memphis Bears, 7-4. Smith, now 16-17, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 10 hits, while striking out 2, walking 3, and allowing 4 runs. Birmingham is 66-77 and Memphis, with the loss, 63-80.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Peter Turner came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Memphis pitcher Don Richardson, he hit a 0-1 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Birmingham on top, 5-4.

When asked about his performance after the game, Smith said: "Like everyone else, I'm just doing my job."
