Talons Score Late, Upend Tradesmen, 11-6
The Sheffield Talons defeated the Birmingham Tradesmen by the score of 11-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to shortstop Larry Sisson. Sisson was 1-3 with a triple and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Talons on the day. Jim Normand got the win, improving to 2-0. He worked 7 innings, giving up 6 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 7. The win gives Sheffield a record of 4-3.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Emilio Alfaro came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Birmingham pitcher Cástico Reyna, he hit a 1-2 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Sheffield on top, 8-6.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Alfaro told the Sheffield Today. "You win just by scoring more runs."
