Albany Gets 6-4 Road Win
Larry Capobianco made an impact in the 6-4 Albany win over Billings. Capobianco went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Chris Finley was the winning pitcher. Over 8 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, with 6 walks and 6 strikeouts. With the win, the Firebirds have a record of 85-77.

Capobianco had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 2-2 cutter from Dalton Burgess, he banged a 2-run home run to left-center, giving the Firebirds a 6-4 lead. It was the 20th home run of the year for Capobianco.

"I just try to go out and give it 100 percent every game," Capobianco told a local reporter after the game. "That's my mantra, and like today, it will pay off more often than not."
