Win Extends Barons Lead to 2-0 Over Chiefs
The Birmingham Barons defeated the Syracuse Chiefs, 6-3, in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series. Doing his part was starter Heath Johnston, who threw 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball. The win moves Birmingham into a 2-0 lead in the series.

Birmingham used a clutch at-bat from Cooper Martin to capture the win. The designated hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Barons ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Martin said his team "played with focus and determination."

Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Raley Field in Birmingham.
