Black Magic Win to Extend Series Lead to 3-0
Riding the 3-hit performance of catcher Ward Mitchell, the Birmingham Black Magic got a road win against the Atlanta Foxes, 15-7, in Game 3 of the World Series today. Mitchell went 3-5 with 3 singles and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Black Magic, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 3 games to 0.

It could have been a different outcome for Birmingham, had it not been for Eugene Coleman, the 30-year old shortstop . Coleman contributed a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the top of the fifth inning to put Birmingham up, 5-2.

"We maximized our offense today," said Birmingham skipper Gerard Hall. "That makes everyone's life easier."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Foxes Ballpark in Atlanta.
