Will Leach never let the Bulls get in a groove. The left-hander used his bread and butter, his cutter, to pitch the Barons to a win, 5-1. Leach picked up the win for Birmingham, going 7 innings. He gave up no runs on 2 hits. He now sports a record of 1-4. Picking up the save was Chance Ladesma, his 3rd.

Birmingham center fielder Emilio MacDonald delivered a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth. Overall, he went 3 for 5, picking up 1 home run, 1 single, and 1 double. He scored 1 run and knocked in 4.

"Will giving us the start that he did was huge," said Birmingham manager Steve Anderson.

Birmingham is now 52-47.
