Barons Decked By BayBears, 11-0
Steve Edwards led the Mobile BayBears to a nifty 11-0 win over the Birmingham Barons. The Mobile designated hitter, who is tied for 2nd in the SL in extra base hits with 39, was a force of nature. He banged out 3 extra-base hits, including 2 home runs and 1 double. Andres Fernandez was the winner. Over 8.2 innings, he yielded no runs on 5 hits, with 2 walks and 10 strikeouts. The first-place BayBears improved to 50-36.

With Mobile leading 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Edwards came up to bat against Birmingham pitcher Joe Drake. Edwards hit a changeup to left-center for a solo home run. His 17th home run of the season put the BayBears on top, 2-0.

"This team is hotter than heck," said Mobile manager Josh Millender.
