Behind the hitting of Ben DePue, the Birmingham Barons stopped the Mississippi Braves, 4-2. DePue went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times for the Barons. With the win, Birmingham raised its record to 37-33.

Birmingham used a well-timed hit by Andy Pierce to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Barons ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"Some of the guys in here work hard, some of the guys just kind of fall out of bed and get it done. Whatever works I guess, we won this one," Pierce told the Birmingham Herald.
