7-5 Loss Deepens Birmingham Funk
The Sheffield Talons topped the Birmingham Tradesmen, 7-5, in Baseball Federation of England & Wales action at Tradesmen Grounds. The standout performance belonged to Sheffield pitcher and Bayamón, Puerto Rico, native Gabriel Rodríguez. Rodríguez picked up the win for Sheffield, going 8.1 innings. He gave up 5 runs on 9 hits. He now sports a record of 11-15. The 45-74 Tradesmen have lost 10 consecutive games.

Pat Dawson provided a timely hit. The Sheffield pinch hitter delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the ninth inning to put the Talons on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"I like our mindset right now," said Sheffield manager Israel García.
