JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Birmingham Barons scored three runs each in the seventh and eighth innings to complete a 6-0 win from Wednesday's suspended game, and then scored three ninth-inning runs to break a 1-1 tie in a 4-1 win over the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in front of 4,213 at Budweiser Thirsty Thursday at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.

The teams resumed Wednesday's game in a scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth inning. Birmingham (30-30 second half, 62-66 overall) took the lead in the top of the seventh inning against Jacksonville right-hander Kolton Mahoney (3-8). In a five-hit inning, Barons first baseman Keon Barnum hit an RBI single, and center fielder Luis Basabe hit a two-run single to make it 3-0. In the eighth inning, right-hander Lukas Schiraldi allowed two walks, a hit batter and second baseman Mitch Roman's RBI single. Left-hander Miguel Del Pozo entered and allowed left fielder Joel Booker's two-run single for a 6-0 lead. Barons left-hander Brian Clark (2-3) and right-hander Brandon Brenan each pitched two scoreless innings.

In Thursday's scheduled game, Jacksonville right-hander Cody Poteet struck out a career-high 12 batters in a career-long eight innings, allowing only two hits, including a third-inning, one-out solo home run by left fielder Jameson Fisher.

Barons left-hander Kodi Medeiros kept the 1-0 lead until the sixth inning. Miami Marlins rehabbing outfielder Lewis Brinson hit a leadoff single to left field. Right fielder Monte Harrison then grounded into a fielder's choice, stole second base (his team-high 26th this season), went to third base on left fielder Brian Miller's groundout and scored on a wild pitch by Medeiros, who went 5 2/3 innings before right-hander Zach Thompson (4-0) pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings.

The 1-1 tie stood until the ninth inning. Roman and designated hitter Zack Collins hit consecutive one-out singles against Jacksonville left-hander Jeff Kinley (3-2).
