Smokies Clip Barons, 2-1
The Tennessee Smokies used a great performance from Vince Avellan, who is rated as the 9th best prospect by BNN, to beat the Birmingham Barons, 2-1, at Smokies Stadium. With the win, Tennessee improves its record to 6-7.

The Barons had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Smokies going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old left fielder Chris Niehaus came to the plate. Niehaus hit a solo home run on a full count fastball from Birmingham hurler Jim Morrell. It was Niehaus's 2nd home run of the year.

"Tough loss," said Birmingham manager . "But we'll learn from it."
