Jackson, TN (June 7th)- Darren Blakely's one out RBI single in the top of the ninth inning drove in the winning run as the Birmingham Barons defeated the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx 5-4 before a Wednesday night crowd of 1,003 at Pringles Park.

After the Diamond Jaxx tied the game at four on a two run double by Nic Jackson in the bottom of the eighth, Thomas Atlee (2-3) yielded a one out double to right off the bat of Thomas Collaro. Mike Myers followed with a single to center to put runners at first and third with one out. Blakely stepped up and fisted a single just in front of Jackson to give the Barons a 5-4 lead. B.J. LaMura gave up a hit in the bottom of the ninth, but struckout the side to get his first save of the season. LaMura saved it for Arnie Munoz (1-0), who gave up the two run double by Jackson in the eighth inning. The loss drops the Diamond Jaxx two games behind Chattanooga with ten games left to play in the first half of the Southern League season.
