The Newark Bears used an offensive barrage to beat the Birmingham Barons, 12-1, at Valiants Ballpark. Cullen Hern led the way, going 3-for-4 for Newark. C.J.

The win for the Bears raised their record to 46-43.

With Newark leading 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Hern hit a cutter from Will Leach for a grand slam home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Bears ahead, 6-0.

"Good pitching and timely hitting is a recipe for success," said Hern.
