MEMPHIS, Tennessee -- Henri Stanley knocked in three runs and Tripp Cromer drove in two to back a strong outing by Doug Sessions as the New Orleans Zephyrs toppled the Memphis Redbirds, 5-2 on Thursday Night in Memphis.

Stanley, who is hitting .423 (11-for-26) during a seven-game hitting streak, tripled in a run in the top of the third inning and added a two-run single in the ninth to account for the final margin. Cromer slugged a solo homer and ripped an RBI double for New Orleans, which won its first game in six tries in Memphis. Sessions (8-4), who took a two-hit shutout into the seventh, allowed two runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings overall to grab the win while Kirk Bullinger recorded his 19th save after fanning two men in a perfect ninth.

Wilson Delgado broke up the shutout bid with a two-run single in the seventh for the Redbirds, who have lost six of their last eight. Steve Stemle (6-11) surrendered three runs and five hits in six innings to get tagged with the loss.
