Bears Winners, 6-5, Over Barons
The Newark Bears spoiled a good performance by Birmingham designated hitter Matthew Rhodes, bumping off Birmingham, 6-5, at Raley Field. Rhodes went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Mason Ellison was the winner. Over 5.2 innings, he yielded 4 runs on 5 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. Ben McPherson earned the save for Newark, his 18th of the year.

Newark designated hitter Hudson Gil contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fourth. With two down, he hit a sinker to left-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 48th hit of the season and put the Bears ahead, 6-2.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Gil told the Newark Daily News.

Newark goes to 41-36, Birmingham to 39-38.
