Barons Deal Mississippi 2-0 Defeat
In a low-scoring contest between the Birmingham Barons and the Mississippi Braves, Preston Brandenburg, the 34th overall pick in the 2112 draft, proved to be the difference. The Birmingham right-hander earned props for his performance in the 2-0 Barons win. Brandenburg picked up the win for Birmingham, going 7 innings. He gave up no runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 6-6. Ryan Mays closed it out for Birmingham, earning his 9th save.

The Barons got a big hit from shortstop Nate Dittmar. Facing Mississippi pitcher Shane Fielder in the bottom of the fifth, Dittmar pounded a 2-run double to right-center. His 11th double of the season put the Barons ahead, 2-0.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Dittmar told the Birmingham Gazette.

By defeating Mississippi, the first-place Barons improved to 82-49.
