The Birmingham Barons captured an easy win, 12-0, over the Jacksonville Suns at Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. Ricky Riojas led the offensive barrage, going 3-for-5 for Birmingham. Birmingham reliever John Wright was the winner. His record is now 10-12. Max Esparza took the loss. Birmingham occupies third place in the South Division at 68-67.

Birmingham won the game in part because of Ernesto Esparza. The first baseman ripped a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Barons ahead, 3-0. For the game, Esparza had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"The Barons definitely had our number," said Jacksonville manager Paul Austin.
