Suns Losing Streak at 9 After Extra-Inning Loss to Barons
The Birmingham Barons topped the Jacksonville Suns by a score of 9-6 in 12 innings. Leading the way was right fielder Ricky Riojas. Riojas went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Barons. Luis Navarro earned the save for Birmingham, his 1st. The losing skid has reached 9 games for Jacksonville.

Birmingham used the timely hitting of Johnny Sanchez to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Barons on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was terrific getting this win," Sanchez said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
