Barons Score Late to Upend Smokies, 7-5
Birmingham starter Alfredo Rivera pitched well against the Tennessee Smokies at Regions Field. The left-hander led his team to a win, 7-5. At 37-37, the Barons are currently third in the North Division.

Had Roldan Rapalo not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Rapalo hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Barons.

"They beat us fair and square," Tennessee skipper Stephen Fife said.
