Redbirds Top Express in Extras, 5-3
Round Rock got a terrific performance from pitcher Luis Zubia, but it wasn't enough to beat the Memphis Redbirds. Memphis won the Dell Diamond contest, 5-3. Zubia threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. Jon Simmons earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 3.1 innings. His record is now 8-6. Danny Ferguson nailed down his 3rd save.

Memphis used a clutch hit from Edwin Longoria to get the win. The left fielder drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Redbirds ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

In postgame remarks, Longoria simply said: "Here's to a great win!"

The first-place Redbirds lifted their record to 67-56.
