Tradesmen Win in Extras, 7-6
Ryan Ward helped his team muscle past the Coventry Motors, 7-6. In the game, the Birmingham second baseman was 3-6 with a triple and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Birmingham reliever Luca Salter picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Ángel Méndez was tagged with the loss. Birmingham has a record of 18-33, placing them last in the Baseball Federation of England & Wales English Baseball Championship.

The decisive blow was delivered by Errol Vilain in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a run-scoring double off 20-year old right-handed pitcher Ángel Méndez to win the game for Birmingham. The home crowd went nuts.

"Games like this is what baseball's all about," said Tradesmen manager Hagen O'Farrell.
