| Athletics Earn 4-3 Win Versus Black Barons | The Kansas City Athletics withstood an impressive performance by Birmingham second baseman Eddie Collins Sr to defeat the Black Barons, 4-3, at The Big Green A. Collins Sr went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and 2 walks. Luke Jackson earned the win after being called from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 1-1. Birmingham drops to 6-3.
The Athletics relied on catcher Joe Grace for the game-winning hit. And, in the bottom of the 12th, he delivered, hitting a run-scoring single to seal the deal.
"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Grace told the Kansas City Times.
