Barons Stay Hot with Extra-Inning Win
The Birmingham Barons beat the Tennessee Smokies, 6-4, in 12 innings at Regions Field. Birmingham designated hitter Jorge Castro had an outstanding performance. He was 3 for 6 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Birmingham is now 43-35. Tennessee is 30-48.

The decisive blow was delivered by Zion Hithe in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a 2-run home run off 27-year old left-handed pitcher Jorge Patino to win the game for Birmingham. The home crowd went nuts.

"Enough drama for you?" winked Barons manager Morgan Ensberg after the game.
