The home crowd had a good time watching the Coventry Motors and Birmingham Tradesmen get after it.

The Birmingham Tradesmen had no problem beating the Coventry Motors, 14-1, at Tradesmen Grounds. Marcos Farías led the way. He was 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for Birmingham. The 5th-place Tradesmen now have a record of 45-64.

Tied up with the Motors in the bottom of the fourth inning, the Tradesmen got a boost from shortstop Alfonso Hernández. With runners on 1st and 3rd, Hernández saw a 2-1 fastball from Julio Piñero and hit a run-scoring single to break the stalemate and put Birmingham on top, 2-1.

"Good hitting and good pitching is a lethal combination," said Farías.
