Birmingham Barons News Release
Birmingham, AL - The Mississippi Braves scored six runs in the seventh inning en route to an 8-4 win over the Birmingham Barons in front of 5,292 fans at Regions Field.
The Barons broke a 1-1 tie in the third with three runs on RBI singles by Rangel Ravelo and Kevan Smith taking a 4-1 lead against M-Braves starter Jason Hursh (7-6, 3.90).
Barons starter Scott Snodgress held the M-Braves in check for much of the night, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out five over 6.0 IP. He departed with the Barons leading 4-2 in the seventh inning.
Braulio Ortiz was brought on in relief of Snodgress but immediately found himself in trouble. Jose Peraza started the scoring with an RBI base hit and scored on a single by David Rohm along with Kyle Wren as the M-Braves took their first lead of the game at 5-4. Kyle Kubitza followed a batter later with a sacrifice fly, scoring Rohm from third base. Jarrett Casey was brought in later in the inning and surrendered a two-run home run to Daniel Castro, his second long ball of the game, giving Mississippi an 8-4 lead they would not relinquish.
Trayce Thompson and Michael Earley each finished with two hits apiece as the Barons fell to 12-12 in the second half and 41-53 overall while the M-Braves improved to 15-11 in the second half and 54-41 on the season. The Barons will look to snap their four-game losing streak tomorrow night as RHP Mike Recchia (5-2, 3.02) takes the hill against RHP Greg Ross (3-1, 0.98). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM CDT.
