Legends Get 4-2 Win Versus Columbia
Lexington beat Columbia on the strength of starting pitcher Steve Barney's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-2. Barney yielded 2 runs over 5.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 0, and struck out 6. His record improves to 11-9. The Fireflies, now 67-64, have lost 4 straight.

Lexington used the hitting of Chris McCormack to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Legends on top, 3-2. For the game, McCormack had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Steve just settled in and did what he does," said Lexington manager Rich Freedland.
