Armed Forces Night Capped Off With a 5-1 Win!

The Birds gave the Veterans and fans something to cheer about with a big win over the BlueClaws last night. Wally Crancer got things going with a solo shot in the 4th, his 2nd in the series, to tie it up. Kieron Pope drove in the game winning run with a 2 RBI double in the same inning. The Birds are now 38 and 30, but will not be able to catch up to the Lake County Captains who are 41-28 and will take the 2nd half crown. The Birds are looking to secure 2nd place with a win as if the Captains win the 2nd half again, the teams with the next best record goes to the playoffs.
