Barons Walk It Off for 8th Win of Season
In a low-scoring affair between the Birmingham Barons and the Tennessee Smokies, pitcher Luis Navarro was the difference between victory and defeat. The Birmingham right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-1 Barons win. Ryan Bridges earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. His record is now 1-0. The loss drops Tennessee to 6-11.

The decisive blow was delivered by Matt Bauer in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run home run off 23-year old left-handed pitcher Shane Baggett to win the game for Birmingham. The home crowd went nuts.

"Being able to play a game for a living is one thing. Being able to play it well and contribute to a win is even better," Bauer told the Birmingham Bulletin.
