Tradesmen Popped by Talons, 6-3
Sheffield and Birmingham duked it out and the Talons came out victorious.

The Sheffield Talons picked up a win at Talons Grounds, knocking off the Birmingham Tradesmen, 6-3. On the mound for Sheffield was right-hander Neil Hughes. He played a key role in the triumph. The last-place Tradesmen now sit at 34-70.

Sheffield went up, 6-3, on Getulio Mejía's 12th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Mejía hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Birmingham pitcher Luca Salter shaking his head.

"Neil is good at sticking to his strengths," said Sheffield manager Ismael Laboy.
