Birmingham cut the lead in half in the third inning, but the Lookouts offense was not finished scoring. With no outs in the third inning, James Free launched a 389-foot home run to bring home two runs.
Up 6-2, Lookouts starting pitcher Andrew Abbott was able to hold the Barons in check. He finished his second career start at AT&T Field only allowing three runs in fiving innings. Abbott is now 2-0 on the season with 19 strikeouts.
Birmingham was able to scratch across several more runs, but the Lookouts bullpen closed it out.
